Overview
Originally a demonstration project and the first large-scale automated guideway transit system in the U.S., WVU's Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is an automated people mover that connects the three areas of the WVU Morgantown campus and the Morgantown central business district.
The PRT consists of a fleet of 69 electronically powered, rubber-tired vehicles that travel on 8.7 miles of dedicated guideway between five stations: Walnut, Beechurst, Engineering, Towers and Health Sciences.
Since opening in 1975, the PRT has provided over 83 million passenger trips and taken countless vehicles off Morgantown's busy streets. The PRT transports about 12,000 riders per day and serves as the University's primary mass transit system for students, employees and visitors.
