With thousands of passengers traveling across campus each day, the Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) 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. Passengers also 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. During the 2023-2024 academic year, the PRT recorded a remarkable 98.7% availability rate during operating hours. Your compliance with these safety guidelines will help the PRT team continue to maintain this availability rate.
As a reminder, the PRT’s normal operating hours are Monday to Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 10:15 p.m., and Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed on Sunday. However, the PRT may have adjusted hours of operation for campus events and University holidays. The PRT will also operate for one hour after the conclusion of any home football or men's basketball game that extends past normal operating hours.
As always, students, faculty and staff ride for free with their WVU ID. The general public pays only $0.50 per trip.
