Doug Allen stepping down as VRE's CEO

The Virginia Railway Express (VRE) Operations Board announced today that CEO
Doug Allen and the board have agreed to part ways. “Doug has done an excellent job leading VRE
through a period of significant growth,” said Operations Board Chair Katie Cristol. “He helped
professionalize the organization, added important staff, led the development of strategic and finance
plans to guide the organization over the next decade, and has been a leading voice for transit in both the
Commonwealth and throughout the country. We thank Doug for his service and wish him well.”

The Operations Board has recommended that Deputy CEO/Chief Operating Officer Rich Dalton serve
as acting CEO while a leadership search is underway. A seasoned, rail operations veteran, Dalton has
been with the system for 10 years and served as acting CEO during VRE’s last leadership transition, in
2012.
