The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) met this week to discuss its new responsibilities of promoting and expanding passenger rail service in the Commonwealth, according to reports.
The group, established earlier this year under Virginia law, is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors. The Board includes Charles “Wick” Moorman, retired Chairman and CEO of Norfolk Southern and former co-CEO of Amtrak, and Jennifer Mitchell, Director of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, who serves as Chairman.
