Corr to succeed MacIsaac as VRE's general counsel

Virginia Railway Express (VRE) has appointed MinhChau Corr general counsel, effective Sept. 15. She will succeed longtime General Counsel Steve MacIsaac, who plans to retire on Sept. 12. 

Corr has more than two decades of legal experience, including 15 years with the Arlington County Attorney’s Office, during five of which she served as county attorney. She provided legal support to VRE and the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission when the Arlington County Attorney’s Office served as general counsel for those agencies. Corr previously held various roles in the private sector, including at Xerox.  

“MinhChau’s deep understanding of regional transportation law and her previous experience working with regional transportation partners and providers make her an exceptional choice for general counsel,” said VRE Operations Board Chair Sarah Bagley in a press release.  

MacIsaac has served as VRE’s general counsel since its inception as a commuter-rail service in Virginia with the District of Columbia. Beginning in the mid-1980s, he served as general counsel to the VRE while also working in county government. MacIsaac became the transit agency’s in-house, full-time general counsel in 2021. 

“His contributions providing legal expertise have been foundational to VRE’s establishment, as well as our continued growth and success,” said Bagley.
