Study examines Metro extension from Springfield to Quantico
The Northern Virginia Transportation Commission is looking into improving transportation accessibility between the Marine Corps Base and Springfield, the terminus of Metro’s blue line.
The study known as the Springfield to Quantico Enhance Transportation Feasibility Study is currently being conducted by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation. The study, which began in September 2020, is looking into transportation options that would run through the corridor between the Franconia-Springfield Metro station and Quantico.
Virginia Railway Express (VRE) already serves the base with a commuter rail stop. The commuter rail system is already undergoing a major expansion that will bring more trains to the corridor, between Fredericksburg and Washington, D.C., and possible commuter rail service on weekends.
