What is OmniLink?
How Does OmniLink Work?
OmniLink is the local (demand responsive) bus service operated by the Potomac and
Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC). OmniLink serves Dale City, Dumfries,
the Route 1 Corridor between the Woodbridge and Quantico VRE stations,
Woodbridge/Lake Ridge, Manassas and Manassas Park.
OmniLink was designed to meet the transportation needs of the entire community,
including individuals who may have difficulty getting to established bus stops. Unlike
a traditional public bus service that operates only along a designated route, with
advanced notice, OmniLink buses can be rerouted to pick up and drop off passengers
at locations up to 3/4 mile off the route when there is time available in the schedule.
OmniLink service balances the amount of time available for off-route trips and ensuring
that bus service is reliable for all customers. OmniLink buses stop only at posted OmniLink
bus stops, on-demand stops (see below) and scheduled off-route pick up or drop off
locations. Drivers cannot make unscheduled route changes.
Customer Service
The PRTC Customer Service Office is open Monday-Friday, 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM (except
some holidays). Off-route trips are scheduled weekdays from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM. To
contact us
• Call (703) 730-6664 or (888) 730-6664
• Email [email protected]
• Write to 14700 Potomac Mills Road, Woodbridge, VA 22192
Schedules and other service related information are available on the web at
PRTCtransit.org. For the latest service updates by email, subscribe
to our Rider Express email list at PRTCtransit.org.

OmniLink For Commuters, Too!
Commuter parking lots and VRE train stations along OmniLink routes can be accessed
by OmniLink buses, allowing passengers to transfer to and from OmniRide commuter
buses and VRE trains (see map).
How To Use OmniLink
There are three easy ways to use OmniLink:
1) OmniLink Bus Stops. Each OmniLink bus stop is marked with a bus stop sign. Bus
stop locations for this route are identified on the map. This schedule lists departure
times for several key stops (timepoints). If your stop is between two timepoints, use the
timepoint for the stop before yours as a guide. Plan to arrive at your stop 5 minutes early.
2) On-Demand Bus Stops. In addition to the designated bus stops, there are some
locations that are On-Demand Bus Stops. If you are riding to an on-demand bus stop,
let the driver know you wish to get off there when you board. To be picked up from an
on-demand bus stop, simply call the OmniLink office and the next available bus will be
rerouted to pick you up. There is a surcharge for using on-demand bus stops (which
does not apply to passengers eligible for reduced fares; see fare section for details).
Please see the map for locations of on-demand stops.
3) Off-route Trips. If you cannot get to an OmniLink stop, or if your destination is not
close enough to a bus stop, you may want to schedule an off-route trip. There is a
surcharge for off-route trips (which does not apply to passengers eligible for reduced
fares; see fare section for details). To determine if an off-route trip is possible, call
Customer Service, from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and a Customer
Service Agent will try to route the bus closer to where you live or want to go—up to 3/4
mile off the route. Trips may be scheduled with as little as 2 hours notice, but for best
results, call as soon as possible to reserve your ride. Trips are booked on a first-come,
first-served basis and are limited. You may be asked to get on or off the bus at a location
that is within a few blocks of your origin or destination. Some locations are not accessible
to OmniLink buses. If you are not at the pick up point, the bus will not wait. If you plan
to make the same off-route trip regularly, you may be able to place a standing order,
subject to availability, by calling Customer Service. Plan to arrive at your stop 5 minutes
early.
How to Change or Cancel an Off-route Trip
If you need to cancel or change your reservation or standing order for an off-route
OmniLink trip, please call the OmniLink office at least 2 hours before the scheduled trip.
Canceling less than 2 hours before your scheduled pick up or not showing at the pick
up location will be considered a missed trip. Passengers with 3 missed trips within 30
days will be denied the privilege of requesting reservations for 30 days.
Emergency Service Plan
Pick up a copy of the Emergency Service Plan brochure, which details procedures for
snow and non-weather related emergencies. During extreme weather, buses may only
operate bus stop-to-bus stop and may experience delays. Please call (703) 730-6664,
check our website at PRTCtransit.org, or listen to local news programs to verify OmniLink's
operating status. To receive email service updates, subscribe to our Rider Express email
list by visiting our web site.
SmarTrip® Sales Locations
SmarTrip cards may be purchased and value added at the PRTC Transit Center, some
Giant and CVS Stores and online at SmarTrip.com. Day Passes and Weekly Passes may
also be purchased at those outlets. See the complete list of local outlets at PRTCtransit.org Lost and Found

day issued. There are no FREE transfers between OmniLink buses. Passengers should consider
purchasing a day or weekly pass for OmniLink travel that requires the use of multiple bus routes.
Using a SmarTrip card – The electronic farebox will calculate and automatically deduct
the correct fare from your SmarTrip card.
When paying in cash – NO transfers. MUST pay separate fares on each bus.
Between PRTC Buses and VRE Trains
• VRE monthly pass holders – boarding a PRTC bus at a VRE Station or the bus stop nearest
a VRE Station ride FREE. When riding a PRTC bus to get to a VRE Station, the applicable
bus fare is required.
• ALL other VRE pass holders – are required to pay applicable bus fare when traveling to
and from VRE Stations.
Priority Seating and Special Needs
Front row “Priority Seating” has been designated on every bus. Please accommodate the
special needs of mobility-impaired passengers by giving up those seats as needed.
Applications for Priority Seating Passes may be downloaded online, or obtained by mail
or by calling (703) 730-6664 or (888) 730-6664. All buses are wheelchair accessible. Each
bus can accommodate two wheelchairs; passengers in wheelchairs who plan to board at
a bus stop are encouraged to call Customer Service at (703) 730-6664 prior to their trip to
ensure a wheelchair space is available. For Virginia Relay Center–TDD call 711.
Passenger Conduct
PRTC reserves the right to deny entry to, expel and/or temporarily or permanently ban
any person from PRTC property and/or vehicles, who in the judgement of the PRTC
management or its agent, is imperiling public safety or being a public nuisance. Actions
that could imperil public safety or qualify as a public nuisance include, but are not limited
to, 1) verbal or physical intimidation; 2) disrespecting the rights of other PRTC patrons;
3) use of profanity; 4) lewd behavior; 5) refusal to pay a fare; and 6) defacing or otherwise
damaging PRTC-owned assets.
Title VI Policy
In compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is PRTC’s policy to use its
best efforts to assure that no person shall be excluded from participation or denied the
benefits of PRTC’s services, on the grounds of race, color or national origin. For more
information on PRTC’s non-discrimination obligations or to file a complaint, contact the
Title VI Coordinator at 703-580-6147 or visit the “Passenger Rights” page at
PRTCtransit.org.
