Rail Services

The figures in this section focus on the recent performance of rail systems operating in Northern Virginia (i.e. Metrorail and VRE).  For WMATA, ridership is shown daily (Figure 7) and annually (Figure 8) by station.  Because of the effects of September 11, 2001 (which was in FY 2002), comparisons of FY 2002 to FY 2001 show a slight drop overall, especially for Sunday ridership.
