How to Apply for Accessible Transportation Services

WVU Accessibility Services VanWest Virginia University provides accessible transportation services either on a temporary or permanent basis. Transportation is available to and from campus and throughout the Morgantown community through Mountain Line Transit Authority's Deviated Route System.

The Mountain Line Transit Authority

West Virginia University students, faculty and staff can utilize the Mountain Line Transit Authority buses for free local transportation by showing a valid WVU ID to the driver when boarding the bus. The need for this service, which is free to students, may be for a temporary disability, such as a broken leg from a skiing accident, or from long term or permanent disabilities.

Mountain Line operates from 6:00 a.m. through 12:00pm midnight, Monday through Saturday. Service hours are extended on the Campus evening route until 2:50 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday while classes are in session during the fall and spring semesters.

In order to request this service, students must complete a one time Call and Ride Application and submit it to the Mountain Line Transit Authority by email to assist@busride.org for consideration. Another option is to register on line at http://www.busride.org. After the application has been approved students are notified in writing or by email.

Once approved, students may call 291-7433 (291-RIDE) as little as fifteen minutes before the desired pickup time to request a deviated pick up from a fixed route schedule. Please see http://www.busride.org for ride schedules and more information.
