Campus Life

Transportation

Personal Rapid Transit System (PRT)

The PRT provides transportation between campuses. There are PRT stations

downtown on Walnut Street and Beechurst Avenue. The Engineering and Towers

stations serve the Evansdale campus. And the Health Sciences Station links students

to the Health Science campus. 


For more information on WVU’s PRT including schedules and/or service outages,

go to the PRT website.


It is always a good idea to check this website before using the PRT to be sure there are no cancellations or delays.

Busses

An essential part of mobility on the Morgantown Campus is the services provided by

Transportation Services. Operating on-campus shuttles from the Coliseum to the PRT,

transporting students to field trips around town or cross country, and moving the

mobility impaired around campus are just a few of the services offered.

 

Besides bus service, the Transportation Services Unit provides fleet maintenance for

University vehicles and provides rental vehicles on an as-needed basis to University

departments. 

Coliseum/Engineering PRT Shuttle

Free Parking is available at the Coliseum – the shuttle takes you to the Engineering

PRT Station allowing you to travel to any of the other PRT stations. Many of our

students park at the Coliseum and take the shuttle to the PRT and travel to the

Beechurst Station which is only a block from Knapp Hall.

 

Campus Bus service is offered only during regular school sessions and is not

available during holidays, break periods unless otherwise announced.

 

The Mountain Line is Morgantown’s bus system. Mountain Line is FREE for faculty,

students and staff with your valid WVU-ID. Otherwise, the cost is $0.75 - $1.00 to

ride. For a complete bus schedule, including routes, call 304-291-7433 or visit their

website.

 

For more information on both WVU and Mountain Line buses, go to their website.

Parking

Parking at WVU-Morgantown is very limited. A valid parking permit displaying the

appropriate parking area number is required from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday- Friday.

If you park in a designated “decal parking lot” without a decal, you will be issued a $20.00

fine.

A portion of the Mountainlair parking garage offers parking by the hour. These spaces

are limited, and the cost is approximately $1.25 an hour. The garage is located at North High and

Prospect Streets. The city of Morgantown offers both long-term parking garages on

Spruce Street and Beechurst Avenue and short-term parking at meters.

For more information on parking, go to their website.

Bookstore

There are WVU Bookstores (Barnes and Noble) located next to the Mountainlair, on the first

floor of Evansdale Crossings on the Evansdale campus, and at the Health Sciences Center.

Both the Evansdale Crossings and Mountainlair bookstores carry social work textbooks. For

more information, go to their website.
