The mass transit system many students at West Virginia University (WVU) use to get around campus is about to get some upgrades.
WVU’s Personal Rapid Transit system (PRT) has been awarded $6.5 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The PRT system was designed and developed in the early 1970s by Boeing and first opened in 1975. It serves as the university’s primary mass transit system that connects the three areas of the WVU Morgantown campus and downtown. When school is in session, WVU estimates 15,000 people ride the PRT every day and more on game days.
The money will fund the PRT Passenger Station and Guideway Modernization Project, which will update all five of the PRT stations and guideway to meet federal standards.
