MORGANTOWN — Beginning May 5, WVU’s PRT will be closed for passenger service to continue with automatic train control modernization and to perform other maintenance and testing activities. It is anticipated that normal operations will resume Aug. 1.
Two WVU commencement venues — the Creative Arts Center and the Coliseum — will have shuttle service to and from surrounding short-term parking lots on the Evansdale Campus, including lots 1, 4 and 9.
Mountain Line bus service will also be available during WVU commencement activities May 11-13.
WVU shuttle service will be in operation starting the week of May 14 Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The bus schedule is from the Beechurst bus stop and Mountaineer Station. Stops in between will include Towers and Evansdale Crossing. Walnut station passengers will need to use the Beechurst location for bus service. This is a free service for WVU students, faculty and staff.
