They work towards developing a statewide network of passenger trains that offer fast, safe, comfortable, and affordable transportation options for Virginians, with a particular focus on the Lynchburg-Charlottesville-Washington-New York train route. With a growing number of millennials embracing rail travel as a convenient and sustainable alternative to driving or flying, CvilleRail and the Piedmont Rail Coalition highlight Virginia's success in expanding intercity passenger rail.

The Piedmont Rail Coalition, founded by CvilleRail in 2007, is a dedicated advocacy group working to extend and enhance intercity passenger rail service along the US29 and I-81 Corridor in Virginia. Through their efforts, they successfully brought a new daily regional rail service to the corridor, greatly improving accessibility and ridership numbers. With a focus on raising public awareness and engaging with local governments and organizations, the coalition has been instrumental in the expansion of passenger rail services, including the extension of the Lynchburg-Washington route to serve the city of Roanoke after a 38-year hiatus. Their work has significantly improved connectivity and transportation options for communities along the corridor.Generated from the website
