WOODBRIDGE — A new report indicates OmniRide could have done more sooner to report a missing bus to police.
The report indicates an unidentified First Transit, Inc. driver contracted by OmniRide drove commuter bus 386 on the afternoon of August 22, 2017, to its first stop at 7th and D streets in NW Washington and refused to pick up any passengers. An angry customer called OmniRide, tipping off the transit company to the problem.
Over the last two years, I have held six community meetings specifically on traffic congestion mitigation in or near the Occoquan District. Several solutions were suggested by residents including improvements to I-95 from the Route 123 interchange to the Prince William Parkway interchange.
Prince William County commuters suffer from the current configuration of I-95 south over the Occoquan River. As it stands today, traveling south, I-95 has four through lanes as you approach the I-95/Route 123 interchange.
From a press release:
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will install new pavement markings on Route 1 southbound near Hills of Aquia subdivision in Stafford County to make it easier for drivers to turn left and merge with southbound traffic.

WOODBRIDGE — Full commuter parking lots in western Prince William County won’t be a problem for would-be transit bus riders for much longer.
A new $1.1 million program that will allow bus riders to hail an Uber-like ride from their homes to commuter lots in Haymarket and Gainesville was funded Thursday night. The plan — let users hail the rides from their phones, just as they would any other ride-sharing service.
In this episode of the Potomac Local Podcast, I talk with OmniRide Executive Director Bob Schneider about the transit agency’s new look, how it is overcoming internal struggles in its organization, and a new service that will operate more like Uber than a transit bus.
We recorded this podcast at the OmniRide Transit Center, home of the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission in Woodbridge, on Monday, April 30, 2018.
MANASSAS — As Manassas officials search for a design that could grace the city’s first licenses plate, it’s down to two designs.
City officials took a private vote on the designs they liked and narrowed the designs down to two:
