OmniRide: “The Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) has scheduled a public hearing to discuss the following proposed changes to OmniRide bus services.”
“Consolidation of the Lake Ridge-Washington DC (L100) and Lake Ridge-Pentagon-Crystal City (L200) commuter routes into one route. The consolidated route would serve the Pentagon Transit Center as well as all current L100 stops in downtown Washington. Extension of select Dale City-Pentagon (D200) trips into Crystal City to compensate for the Lake Ridge route consolidation. Introduction of new Eastern and Western Commuter Lot Connector trips to provide additional access to commuter lots during off peak times. Details about these proposed changes will be available at OmniRide.com prior to the public hearing.”

The Center Square: “A recent poll shows a majority of Northern Virginia residents support expanding the flight distance perimeter around Reagan National Airport, allowing the airport to accommodate more routes, thus making fares more competitive, according to supporters of the measure.”
“Recent legislation introduced by Utah congressmen Burgess Owens and Hank Johnson, known as The Direct Capital Access Act, part of the 2023 Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization bill, would allow for the increase and creation of longer-haul flights in and out of Reagan. The legislation would add 28 flights in and out of the 1960s-era perimeter rule for incoming and outgoing flights.”
