OmniRide is a public transit service in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., serving 3 counties and 3 independent cities along the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers. OmniRide service is provided by the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission, a transportation district under Virginia law that is funded in part by fuel taxes collected by its member jurisdictions.

Members of PRTC include the counties of Prince William, Spotsylvania, and Stafford along with the independent cities of Fredericksburg, Manassas and Manassas Park. OmniRide bus services are operated under contract by Keolis. PRTC contributes funding to the Virginia 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 the I-66 and I-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 the Prince William Parkway. In 2024, the system had a ridership of 2,101,600, or about 8,200 per weekday as of the fourth quarter of 2024.

Organization

The Commission was established in 1986. It consists of representatives from each local jurisdiction, the Chairman of the Commonwealth Transportation Board and two members of the House of Delegates and one member of the Senate from the related legislative districts.^[3] Together with the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission, PRTC operates the Virginia 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 the SmarTrip rechargeable fare card program with other public transportation agencies.^[5]
