Fredericksburg Regional Transit, also known as FXBGO!, received two $20,000 grants from the Joe and Mary Wilson Community Benefit Fund of Mary Washington Hospital Foundation and the Stafford Hospital Community Benefit Fund.

These grants will allow the agency to continue to provide transit service in the Fredericksburg region that will facilitate access to healthcare through public transportation and act as a mechanism to address health issues through the benefits and connections transit service provides, a press release states.


Police said a road rage incident escalated, leading to one of the drivers pulling a gun and firing rounds into traffic. No one was injured, but traffic was detoured around the scene on the incident date so police could collect the shells that fell onto the pavement.
