First Baptist Church Commuter Lot Closes - Effective July 8th, the First Baptist Commuter Lot on Minnieville Road will close according to a press release from the Potomac Rappahannock Transportation Commission. Also, PRTC will discontinue its late evening shuttle bus service between the Horner Road Commuter Lot and the First Baptist Church. Click Here to read the press release


The good news is that Prince William County has a new lease for 222 parking spaces next to the existing Lake Ridge Commuter lot on Minnieville Road. This new commuter lot will we able to use the existing bus service already provided to the Lake Ridge Commuter lot. The new temporary lot will open on Monday, July 11th.

I assume the busses will continue to pickup/discharge passengers in the original lot, and slugs will line up in the current locations? Are there plans to move the slug lines to the new lot?

Press says that PRTC bus currently serving the FBC parking lot will continue for now. However, as the least is terminated, commuters cannot park there, hence no slugging at FBC

Yes, I parked there this morning (July 12th). It is a closer and an easier walk from the new lot than from the one next to McDonalds. With the new lot you don't have to cross the streets of Harbor Drive and Minnieville.

Horner gets filled up before 7am. Will this new lot provide some relief to Horner?
