Seat Notices
One way VRE disseminates information is through seat notices.
The notices typically include small bits of information regarding: policies,
special events, schedule changes, and helpful hints to make the ride more
enjoyable. Attached are the most recent seat notices and VRE Updates
that have been distributed on the trains. Suggestions by riders for items
to be placed on future seat notices may be submitted by e-mail. If
you are interested in advertising, visit our advertising
page.
The VRE Update is a monthly newsletter,
which publishes service information and other articles of interest to our
riders.The VRE Update also has a crossword puzzle, which is geared to
provide a fun break for commuters.
Below is the archive of Seat Notices and VRE
Updates that have been published this year. Older issues
