Passengers on MARC and VRE are celebrating the signing of a new collaborative agreement that will enhance commuter connectivity and efficiency across the greater Washington, DC region.

The Maryland Department of Transportation, Maryland Transit Administration and Virginia Railway Express have joined together in a significant step forward in regional transit integration, according to Maryland Transit Administrator Holly Arnold. Now, passengers with a weekly, monthly, or 10-trip ticket purchased to Union Station can utilize that ticket to transfer to the other system (MARC to VRE or VRE to MARC) and continue their trip at no additional cost. With this change, MARC and VRE riders will have easy access to a wider range of employment centers, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and tourism throughout the region.
