NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC)
Regarding Proposed FY 2025 Budget and Proposed FY 2025 Applications for Federally Participating Projects
The Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) has rescheduled a public hearing to present its proposed FY 2025 budget and invite public review/comment. Currently, the total cost of the proposed budget is $84 million, including $70 million in operating expenses and $14 million in capital expenses. The PRTC budget will be finalized after Prince William County approves its budget, but the PRTC budget should not exceed these amounts. Details of PRTC’s proposed budget will be posted at OmniRide.com prior to the public hearing.
PRTC is the federal grant applicant for federally participating projects that PRTC, Virginia Railway Express (VRE), and Fredericksburg Regional Transit (FXBGO!, formerly FRED), envision applying for in FY 2025. Public comment is invited on all those projects as proposed.
The FY 2025 budget public hearing will be held on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 6:00 PM at the OmniRide Transit Center, 14700 Potomac Mills Road, Woodbridge, VA 22192. The previously advertised April 24, 2024 budget public hearing is cancelled. In addition, a listening session will be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM in the community room at Manassas Mall.
The proposed budget can be viewed here and the list of federally participating PRTC, VRE and FXBGO! projects is available below. Print copies of the proposed budget are available upon request by emailing crodrigo@omniride.com. Comments may be made during the public hearing or may be submitted no later than Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at 5:00 PM via email to publichearing@omniride.com, or in writing to:
