The 95 Express Lanes will open in December. We just don’t know exactly on which date drivers will need to be sure to have their EZ-Pass affixed to their windshields.

Jeremy McPike fell short by just 288 votes in his bid to unseat the long-serving Scott Lingamfelter from the Virginia House of Delegates. There were a total of 22,833 votes cast in the 2013 contest.

McPike said he built a “strong coalition” of voters during that campaign who recognized him as the person who could help bring ethics reform to Richmond, as well as help move Prince William County forward in areas such as transportation and education.

Some PRTC bus routes and timetables have been adjusted starting today, December 1, as the Fall Service Change takes effect. The Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission updates its schedules twice annually – in the spring and fall – to reflect current running times and make other changes such as updating routing and relocating bus stops as necessary.

The most significant change is the splitting of the Montclair OmniRide commuter bus service into two separate routes. This plan is being implemented in order to accommodate growing demand and provide faster and more reliable service to passengers.
