Impact Assessment of the Virginia Railway Express Commuter Rail on Land Use Development Patterns in Northern Virginia
Impact Assessment of the Virginia Railway Express Commuter Rail on Land Use Development Patterns in Northern Virginia
The document explores the early impacts of the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) commuter rail line on its Northern Virginia. It covers the period from 1984 to mid-1992, and focuses on a series of three impact areas radiating from twelve commuter rail systems. Surveys were used to obtain information on change decisions, on 'impressions' of potential impacts, on commuter rail influence on home purchase decisions, and on actual VRE ridership characteristics compared to initial study hypothesis. The document focuses on establishing a baseline for future assessment work, but does draw preliminary conclusions about ridership catchment areas, home siting choices, air quality impacts, and travel behavior in the affected corridors.
