Mountain Line Transit Authority is announcing service reductions and elimination of some services beginning July 1, 2009. These service changes are a result of funding reductions by third party contractors including The District and West Virginia University (WVU). The District has not renewed their service agreement with the Authority, and WVU has requested some service reductions beginning July 1, 2009. Routes affected include The District and The District Late Night, the Blue & Gold, and the Orange Line.
Passengers who will be affected by these changes are encouraged to complete a comment form at www.busride.org and to explain how these changes will impact their transportation needs, the need to bring cars to school in the fall, and the impact these changes will have on their employment, day care, doctor’s visits, and rental or living arrangement decisions. Two public hearings will be held to receive public input. The first Hearing will be held at the WVU MountainLair, Shenandoah Room at 1:00 pm on Wednesday April 29. The second Hearing will be held at the Westover Administrative Facility, 420 DuPont Road, Wednesday May 6, at 1:15 pm. Additional comments may be mailed to: Mountain Line, 420 DuPont Road, Morgantown, WV 26501. Everyone in the community is encouraged to comment on these proposed changes.
