OmniRide Access - Paratransit Service

 

What is OmniRide Access?

OmniRide Access is a paratransit service for people with disabilities. Vans operate within ¾ mile of the OmniRide Local bus routes that serve eastern Prince William County.

People who are unable to ride a fixed-route bus because of disabilities or health issues may apply to use OmniRide Access paratransit services. An eligibility review will determine whether an applicant is eligible for paratransit service.

Eastern OmniRide Access vans will operate:

• Monday through Friday from 5:10 am to 10:40 pm.
• Saturdays and Sundays from 6:50 am to 10:15 pm.

Trained Personal Care Attendants may ride for free with an eligible passenger. Other companions, including children, must pay the full fare. When booking a trip, please be sure to mention whether you will be accompanied by a Personal Care Attendant, companion,
or service animal.
