PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — For the first time in its 20-year history, the Prince William County Department of Transportation is inviting residents to help shape the future of local mobility, not just weigh in on individual projects already in motion.

Transportation Director Rick Canizales announced a new series of public town halls during a recent episode of the Potomac Local News podcast. The sessions, to be held throughout the county, will provide residents with an opportunity to discuss their ideas, priorities, and concerns directly with transportation planners.

“We want to know what they want to see in the future,” said Canizales. “Not just what we already have going on. This is the first step in building a transportation network that’s truly community-driven.”
