Earlier in the Summer, OmniRide initiated a total overhaul of local routes in the eastern Prince William County – one of the biggest service changes and expansions in the organization’s 38-year history. In addition to providing service to new destinations, the purpose of the restructured routing was to create more streamlined, more efficient, and more direct service.
