With thousands of passengers traveling across campus each day, the Personal Rapid Transit team reminds passengers of safety guidelines when riding the PRT.
Passengers should always stay off the electrically powered guideway. This area contains highly dangerous voltage areas that can cause injuries to you or others.
You should only access the track when instructed to do so by PRT staff. If you drop an item or need assistance with something on the track, please use the assistance telephones located on each platform to talk with PRT staff.
Additionally, when boarding, passengers should not hold vehicle doors open or overcrowd the vehicle and passengers should not forcibly open vehicle doors or windows. These actions can cause delays for you and your fellow passengers.
Passengers’ compliance with these safety guidelines assists the University in providing an effective and efficient PRT system. In fact, the PRT recorded a 100% availability level from Aug. 25 to Sept. 7 — meaning there were no disruptions in service during this period of time.
The PRT normal operating hours are from 6:30 a.m. to 10:15 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The PRT is closed on Sunday.
However, the PRT may have special hours of operation for campus events and University holidays.
Upcoming changes in hours of operation include:
Oct. 5-7: Closed for Fall Break
Nov. 20-25: Closed for Fall Recess
As always, students, faculty and staff ride for free with their WVU ID. The general public pays only 50 cents per trip.
