  • On-Demand Rides Reshape Transportation in Prince William

    OmniRide’s fare-free micro-transit service, OmniRide Connect, is expanding in Prince William County. Currently operating in Quantico-Triangle/Dumfries and Manassas Park, the service offers on-demand rides through a mobile app or phone call. It's aimed at improving access in hard-to-reach neighborhoods and replacing underperforming bus routes. Future zones include Lake Ridge and parts of the Brentsville District, with funding potentially bolstered by a proposed commercial and industrial tax. The service has seen increasing ridership and state support, signaling strong community demand and operational success. (Inside NoVa)
