Four new Stafford County commuter bus routes are in the running for funding attached to an express lanes-backed program.

The new buses would run along the express lanes corridor on Interstate 95 and Interstate 395. A new electronically tolled express lane system is being added to I–395 and is expected to open in the fall.

OmniRide, which operates in Northern Virginia, would run the two new Stafford commuter routes north.

The new local service would add four local options:

Staffordboro: OmniRide bus service for Washington, D.C., as well as the Pentagon.

Expanded bus service to the Leeland Road Virginia Railway Express lot.

Bus service from North Stafford to Quantico Marine Corps Base.

Updated details on the program were presented to the Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Committee last week. The requested amount for the four new local bus routes totals more than $12.65 million.
