She previously advised VRE and the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission when Arlington County served as general counsel for both. That familiarity with the agency’s legal needs positions her to step in with confidence and continuity.

Her background also includes roles in the private sector, such as at Xerox, where she handled complex legal matters and regulatory issues. This diverse experience enhances her ability to address VRE’s evolving legal challenges.

VRE General Counsel Role Passes from MacIsaac to Corr

Steve MacIsaac has served as VRE general counsel since its earliest days. While originally a part-time advisor from the mid-1980s, he transitioned to full-time in-house counsel in 2021.

Over the years, he built the legal foundation for VRE’s operations and helped the agency navigate major regional developments. His departure marks the end of an era defined by legal clarity and strategic insight.

“Steve’s legacy is one of trust and dedication,” said Operations Board Chair Sarah Bagley. “We deeply appreciate his decades of commitment.”

Why Corr’s Background Strengthens VRE Legal Oversight?

Corr’s in-depth understanding of regional transportation law, paired with her history of collaboration with transit agencies, makes her an ideal fit for the VRE general counsel role.

“MinhChau’s knowledge and leadership are essential for VRE’s next phase,” Bagley added. “We’re confident in her ability to uphold and build on the strong legal foundation Steve established.”

As VRE expands its operations and partnerships, Corr is expected to provide experienced legal guidance while strengthening interagency cooperation.
