NEWS FROM COMMUNITY SPONSOR PRTC
Have you noticed a change at your bus stop in Washington, D.C. or Arlington? All Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission bus stop signs in those areas were replaced this spring.
The new signs are the result of a partnership with Metro to create unified bus stop signage within the service area. In an effort to keep all of the local bus service signs consistent, a simple flag-style design was used.
Due to the limited space on the signs, PRTC route names were abbreviated using the trip designation system for each route. These designations, such as “D100” for Dale City-Washington, correspond to the trip designations on OmniRide schedules.
For the first time, PRTC drop-off stops as well as pick-up stops are now outfitted with signs.
