The decision to suspend fares will make VRE a more attractive and viable option for Metro riders during the closure of Blue and Yellow Line stations south of Reagan National Airport (DCA), slated to begin September 10, and those returning to work post-Labor Day.

“VRE will be a major contributor to mitigation efforts in the region during the first part of the Metrorail shutdown, which is expected to last six weeks,” said VRE CEO Rich Dalton. “The temporary elimination of fares will maximize VRE’s usage.”
