OmniRide is apublic transit service in theNorthern Virginia suburbs ofWashington, D.C., serving 3 counties and 3independent cities along thePotomac andRappahannock rivers. OmniRide service is provided by the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission, a transportation district under Virginia law that is funded in part byfuel taxes collected by its member jurisdictions.
Members of PRTC include the counties ofPrince William,Spotsylvania, andStafford along with the independent cities ofFredericksburg,Manassas andManassas Park. OmniRide bus services are operated under contract byKeolis. PRTC contributes funding to theVirginia Railway Express commuter rail service, which is also operated by Keolis.
OmniRide operates an extensive network of commuter bus services under the OmniRide Express brand, which operate along theI-66 andI-95 corridors. OmniRide Local service consists of two separate networks in Manassas and eastern Prince William County, which are connected by the East-West Express route on thePrince William Parkway. In 2024, the system had a ridership of 2,101,600, or about 10,500 per weekday as of the second quarter of 2025.
The Commission was established in 1986. It consists of representatives from each local jurisdiction, the Chairman of theCommonwealth Transportation Board and two members of the House of Delegates and one member of theSenate from the related legislative districts.[3] Together with theNorthern Virginia Transportation Commission, PRTC operates theVirginia Railway Express. By 1986, it became apparent that the jurisdictions outside of NVTC could not reach agreement on how to support VRE by joining NVTC so PRTC was created. Legislation established a 2% motor fuels tax to support VRE expenses and other transportation investments.
PRTC operates a carpooling and vanpooling project called "OmniRide Ridesharing Service" (formerly "OmniMatch", Now as of March 13th, 2025: "OmniRide Connect").[4] PRTC participates in theSmarTrip rechargeable fare card program with other public transportation agencies.[5]
