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

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

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

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.

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