Virginia Railway Express, the 19-year-old commuter rail project connecting Virginia’s suburbs to Washington, D.C., is on the hunt for advertising and PR proposals with a goal of “further establishing and maintaining a positive, identifiable image of the commuter rail service operated by VRE,” according to an RFP released March 23.
The railway carries about 18,500 passengers daily operating 29 trains from 18 stations. In addition to burnishing its image, VRE wants to increase ridership and promote safety goals, among other targets.
Alexandria-based Williams Whittle Associates is the six-year incumbent winding down the final year of its pact worth $400K through June 2011.
Proposals are due April 25.
