Some relief for cash-strapped OmniRide could come in the form of legislation in Richmond.
A new bill by Sen. Frank Wagner (Norfolk, Virginia Beach) would set the gas tax "floor" at February 2013 rates. That means OmniRide's parent agency Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission would get it's 2.1% funding from the state's motor fuels tax based on 2013 prices, which averaged $3.17 per gallon statewide that year. Diesel fuel averaged $3.36 per gallon statewide.
Compare that to today's average price at the pump: $1.68 for regular and $2 for diesel, according to today's AAA's Fuel Gauge report.
