Route 6 Gold Line Service Restored
Beginning November 23, 2025

Morgantown, WV- Due to WVU’s reduction in funding for service in July 2025, Rt. 6 Gold Line Sunday service was cut back to only Sundays while WVU was in session. Public comments reflected the value of the continuation of service throughout the year, therefore the authority will be reinstating service to Rt. 6 Gold Line while WVU is not in service. Beginning Sunday November 23, 2025 the Sunday service throughout the year will resume.

Rt. 6 Gold Line Sunday service previously advertised to not run during Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Breaks will continue to run during those times. The planned service cuts were requested by WVU, but after receiving public feedback regarding these changes, MLTA is reinstating Sunday service for the entire year.

Mountain Line Employee Paul Burns Retires After 25 Years of Service

Morgantown, WV- Paul Burns will retire from Mountain Line Transit Authority on Friday, July 18, 2025, after 25 years of dedicated service.

Paul began his journey with Mountain Line in February 2000 as a part-time van driver. Through his hard work, dedication, and commitment, he steadily advanced to become our Assistant Manager of Operations. Over the years, Paul has been a steadfast presence, contributing significantly to our growth and success.

In 2009, Paul played a pivotal role in increasing our workforce by 11%, overseeing the training and development of 20 new hires. That same year marked the arrival of our first Gillig buses, and Paul took charge of supervising driver training on the new equipment. His deep knowledge of our route generators, fleet status, and bus conditions has been invaluable. Paul also maintained excellent working relationships with various departments throughout our community, ensuring smooth coordination of logistics.

In 2023, as Mountain Line continued to evolve and grow, Paul once again stepped up—offering guidance, support, and leadership wherever it was needed most. His decision to remain with us beyond his original retirement plan has helped ensure a smooth transition and reflects his deep commitment to Mountain Line’s mission and long-term success.

On behalf of the entire Mountain Line team, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Paul. It has been an honor to work alongside him through challenges, milestones, and meaningful moments. He has been a vital member of the management team and helped shape the foundation for our future.

We invite all who have worked with Paul to join us in celebrating his retirement on Thursday, July 17th, from noon to 1:00 PM at the Mountain Line Administrative Office, 420 DuPont Road.

Bill was a dedicated and friendly face of Mountain Line, serving the community with pride and professionalism. He joined Mountain Line in November 2018 and quickly excelled in his role as bus Driver.

part-time capacity, continuing to serve the community with the same passion and commitment.

Bill’s contributions to the team were immeasurable, and he will be remembered as a wonderful colleague and an outstanding representative of Mountain Line Transit Authority.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Bill’s family during this difficult time. We also encourage Bill’s friends, colleagues and passengers to share their condolences on Mountain Line’s Facebook page at “Mountain Line Transit Authority”.

Bruffy Announces Mountain Line Resignation

Morgantown, WV- David Bruffy has announced his resignation as Chief Executive Officer of the Mountain Line Transit Authority, effective July 6, 2023.

Bruffy served as the administrative leader of the Authority since October 1997. Under his leadership the Authority grew from a 12 vehicle service to a 43 vehicle service that now employs 80 people and provides more than 80,000 hours of bus service a year.

Mr. Bruffy shared a few thoughts as he reflects on the past quarter century of service, “It has been my privilege and honor to work with all the men and women who served our community and helped build Mountain Line services and I will forever be appreciative of the community support we received over the years”. The Authority has provided more than 18 million trips in that time and is in the best financial condition ever with a modern bus fleet and stable workforce that promises service stability for many years to come.

Assistant Manager Maria Smith will take over Bruffy’s duties serving as Acting General Manager until such time as the Authority Board makes a permanent appointment decision. Bruffy has offered to serve as a Senior Advisor for a 6-12 month transition period at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Service Elimination Public Hearings

Service on routes 14 Mountain Heights and 15 Grafton Road will be eliminated beginning March 13, 2023.

Most riders have been contacted and trained on the new service, however we are asking that any remaining riders reach out to us in one of the following ways:

Public Hearings will be held at the Mountain Line Administrative Office at 420 DuPont Road, Westover, WV 26501 on the following dates:

Wednesday, January 18, 2023 – 1:00PM
Wednesday, February 8, 2023 – 12:00PM

Riders can also contact our Mobility Coordinator at 304.296.3869 with questions or for training on the RideMon service.

The Mountain Line RideMon service, powered by Uber, connects passengers to the local routes systems at the Hornbeck Road Walmart, Mountaineer Mall and Sabraton Goodwill. Trips can be scheduled simply by choosing the Mountain Line vehicle in the Uber app. The fare for each one-way trip will remain $0.75 cents per ride, per passenger. All existing forms of payment such as the Property Tax Pass and 15-Ride passes may be used for this new service.

NEWFIT TRANSPORTATION CONTINUES ANOTHER YEAR
THANKS TO THE HAZEL RUBY MCQUAIN CHARITABLE TRUST

Morgantown, WV- Beginning January 2019 the NewFIT service was established to provide medical related trips to those with no other transportation options. The Ruby Hazel McQuain Charitable Trust has for the 3 ^rd year honored Mountain Line with a Grant to support this critical service.

In its first year this service provided 887 trips. In 2020 we discouraged ridership due to the pandemic however by year end our ridership was 1,039, proving how critical and necessary these appointments were. As of November 2021 we have provided 1,289 trips this year.

The NewFIT Service is funded 80% federal and 20% local match. The Foundation provides the 20% local match and without this match the federal funds would not be available.

Mountain Line would like to thank The Hazel Ruby McQuain Charitable Trust for their continued support of this important service we are able to provide the community.

If you would like more information about this service visit busride.org or call Mobility Coordinator, Kelli LaNeve at 304-296-3680.

Mountain Line Driver Shortage Causing a Limit to Service

Morgantown, WV- Mountain Line is providing reduced service due to a shortage of drivers. The service adjustments are being posted daily on the agencies Twitter feed which can be found by following @MountainLine. For those who do not use Twitter the posts are reflected on the website at busride.org.

Our goal is to maintain service to all existing service areas. This may mean a reduction in frequency or elimination of a route where there are alternate routes available. If you need help planning your trip riders are encouraged to contact us at 304-291-RIDE.

Mountain Line is currently 25% short on drivers and has openings for at least 12 drivers. The driver shortage has been a national issue and transit agencies across the nation are dealing with the same problem. Federal Motor Carrier Safety rules limit each driver to no more than 10 driving hours in a 24 hour period. All of the current drivers are maxed out on their daily driving and those who can are working 5 and 6 days per week instead of their normal 4 day work week. Mountain Line has implemented a high level of recruitment utilizing every possible channel to promote the open positions. The agency has on order 6 smaller accessible vehicles to allow the hiring of drivers who do not currently have a Commercial Driver’s License. These vehicles will be used on routes which currently have lower ridership and will allow the agency to provide service while assisting the drivers to obtain their CDL.

All Mountain Line schedules and maps are available at www.busride.org . For more information about Mountain Line Transit Authority, call 304-291-RIDE (304-291-7433) or visit their website.

Additionally, if you would like to apply for a position at Mountain Line, CDL and Non CDL driver positions are available. Find more information on available positions at busride.org/employment .

MOUNTAIN LINE TRANSIT ANNOUNCES NEW BUSES

Morgantown, WV- New Mountain Line buses have arrived from California. The Authority will introduce four of the five new buses to the local community starting tomorrow.

The five new buses that will travel the various local routes were purchased with Levy Funding as well as Federal Grants. These heavy duty buses made by Gillig, of Livermore, California, weigh approximately 26,440 pounds and are 102 inches wide and 35 feet long. Seating is for up to 32 people with additional standing room. In addition to kneeling chassis and quick loading fold out ramps, each bus has a new system for mobility aids, such as wheelchairs or scooters, which allow the user to secure themselves in place independently of the bus driver.

Each bus is equipped with a bike rack, and digital signage on the front, curb and back of the bus. These $477,386 buses are built with several safety features inside and out, including some additional features put in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic response. These features include plexiglass barriers between the driver and onboarding passengers, plastic seating for easier sanitizing, a new HVAC system and tilt in windows that allow for faster air circulation.

For additional information about the Mountain Line visit WWW.BUSRIDE.ORG or call 304-291-RIDE.

### End Release. Thank you.

STATE BUMPS TRANSIT DOWN VACCINATION PRIORITY LIST

Morgantown, WV- The Mountain Line Transit Authority Board of Directors learned yesterday that their employees have been bumped down from the CDC’s recommended Phase 1b vaccination priority for mass transit to Phase 1d in the WV Vaccination Plan. No explanation has been given for this change and the Board expressed concern that this move furthers the risk to community transportation services.

Mountain Line has missed 1,055 hours of service since March 2020 due to COVID. The Authority has had 39 employee tests for suspected COVID-19 infection. Seven of its 63 employees have tested positive with December being the worst month to date. The Authority has a service reduction plan in place, but little advance notice is possible leaving passengers standing at the curb in now inclement weather. Mountain Line is transporting between 800 and 1,200 passengers daily, providing trips to COVID vaccinations, dialysis and other critical medical treatments and transporting essential workers who rely on public transit as their primary means of transportation.

The Authority encourages passengers to follow their bus route on twitter and to check the www.busride.org/covid website for current service status and service changes. The Authority Board has agreed to meet in Emergency Session should it become necessary to stop regular bus service altogether or to take other measures beyond the current service reduction plan.

Mountain Line Transit Authority (MLTA) Announces Participation in Nationwide Public Transportation Industry “Health and Safety Commitments” Program

MLTA joins over 100 public transit agencies across the country in signing on to the program

Morgantown, WV – MLTA has joined the American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA) “Health and Safety Commitments Program,” the public transportation industry’s overarching pledge to passengers that public transit systems are taking all the necessary measures to operate safely as the nation recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The health and safety of passengers and operators is the most important priority for MLTA. Since the beginning of the pandemic, MLTA has worked tirelessly to keep riders safe from infection from the coronavirus. By signing on to the APTA Health and Safety Commitments Program with more than 100 public transit systems, MLTA and the public transit industry are actively working to instill confidence in riders that it’s committed to protecting their health and safety.

The Program was developed after asking transit users from across the country what measures would make them feel more confident riding public transportation amid concerns about COVID-19. From this research, the industry identified four key areas that transit systems need to address to earn riders’ confidence:

• Following public health guidelines from official sources

• Cleaning and disinfecting transit vehicles frequently and requiring face coverings and other protections

• Keeping passengers informed and empowered to choose the safest times and routes to ride

• Putting health first by requiring riders and employees to avoid public transit if they have been exposed to COVID-19 or feel ill

MLTA has pledged to meet these commitments by creating specific policies that are effective for our system, our riders, and our community. A key component of the Health and Safety Commitments Program is the shared responsibility of our system and our riders to follow the guidelines. Riders rely on us to follow these commitments, and MLTA relies on riders to protect themselves and other customers.

MLTA is committed to continually addressing and implementing pillars of the Program. Current actions/plans can be found at https://www.busride.org/covid

“This program is a commitment that this industry is making to all those we serve now and to those who we look forward to serving,” said Nuria I. Fernandez, APTA Chair, and General Manager and CEO of Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. “Public transportation is and will be vital to the social and economic recovery of our nation. But getting there requires us to win back our ridership and encourage new riders to view public transit as a preferred mobility choice. We believe this commitment program will help do this.”

“The program being launched today is the public transportation industry’s pledge to promote sensible policies and practices designed to keep transit users and transit employees safe during the COVID-19 crisis,” said APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas. “It is a logical extension of the innovation and commitment we have been demonstrating for the past several months – and it makes the need for at least $32 billion in additional emergency funding that much more urgent and critical.”

Mountain Line COVID-19 Face Covering Requirement

Mountain Line Transit has taken aggressive steps to protect the safety of its transit operations since the early part of the pandemic. All buses continue to be fumigated with DSV (Disinfectant, Sanitizer, Virucide) on a daily basis, plus several measures to ensure the safety of employees and passengers.

Beginning Friday June 26, 2020 Mountain Line will begin requiring all riders to wear a mask or face covering that covers the mouth and nose. This is being implemented to protect our riders and drivers. This requirement does not apply to children under the age of 2. Individuals who are unable to wear a mask or face covering due to a medical condition are to call 304-296-3680 to make arrangements. Face coverings can be made from cloth material that is easily washable and reusable. Mountain Line drivers will be distributing face masks for riders without any face coverings while supplies last.

Mountain Line has set up a system for riders to call in and register their trip in order to provide the Health Department with tracking information in the case of a positive test. If you do have to ride, you will be asked to socially distance on the bus and call 304-296-3680 to register your trip for tracking purposes.

Monongalia County Health Department requests the public only use the bus for essential errands and work; socially distance yourself at least six feet away from others; do not ride the bus if you are sick, even with just a common cold; cover all coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow; wash your hands frequently and thoroughly for 20 seconds using warm water and soap, and refrain from touching your face.

Mountain Line to Lower Flag in Honor of Employee

Mountain Line to Lower Flag in Honor of Employee

Mountain Line Transit authority is saddened by the passing of Wayne Pifer, General Manager. In memory of Wayne, the Transit Authority has lowered its Mountain Line Flag.

In the fall of 2017 Wayne was diagnosed with ALS, he immediately began to train staff to ensure a smooth transition. In August of 2018, just prior to relocating our operations to Westover, he was unable to continue traveling to the office. Remotely he was still able to provide guidance and did so for as long as he could. On Friday November 8, 2019 Wayne passed away due to the complications related to ALS.

Wayne was with Mountain Line for nearly 19 years and integral in sustaining the inner workings of Mountain Line through the growth and expansion of the system over the years. In 2018 Wayne received the West Virginia Public Transit Employee of the Year, a recognition earned for his many accomplishments. With his long history at Mountain Line and in the Transit industry there are many people who will miss him deeply.

Services for Wayne will be held at the McCulla Funeral Home, 770 Fairmont Road, Morgantown from 2-4 & 6-8 pm Tuesday and on Wednesday from 10:00 am until the 11:00 am funeral service. Burial will follow at Beverly Hills Cemetery.

The Mountain Line Transit November Board Meeting will be held after the burial on Wednesday and may delay the start of the noon meeting.

Mountain Line Mobile Fare Launches on Token Transit App

Morgantown, WV- Beginning Monday March 11, 2019 Mountain Line Transit passengers will be able to use the Token Transit app to buy and use bus passes on their smartphones or other mobile devices. Partnering with Token Transit, Mountain Line will provide electronic bus passes for their riders that are easy to purchase and use. Riders may do the following:

Purchase transit passes using the app on their smartphones.
Activate the pass on the app.
Use the pass by showing the app on their phone to the Bus Operator upon boarding.

Customers may also choose to purchase online (https://tokentransit.com/send) and send tickets to someone else. Even if ticket recipients do not have an account set up on their device, they may use the mobile ticket. For example, parents may choose to send a monthly pass to their child using this option so the child would not need access to payment information.

“We are implementing mobile ticketing with Token Transit to give riders in Morgantown and Monongalia County areas an easy and convenient way to buy bus passes. Our hope is to make public transit easier to use so that more people can get from point A to point B in a more environmentally-friendly way” stated David Bruffy, CEO.

The Token Transit app is available on both the App Store for iPhone users and the Google Play Store for Android users. A credit or debit card is required to purchase passes. Fares on the Mobile App include a convenience fee to cover the costs related to the use of the app.

Mountain Line Transit is the transit provider for Morgantown and Monongalia County. Mountain Line’s mission is to provide a safe, reliable, and efficient transportation system for the region. For information visit WWW.BUSRIDE.ORG, follow Mountain Line Transit Authority on Facebook and on Twitter or call 304-291-RIDE.

Public Hearing

Route 8 Brookhaven Service Change

Morgantown, WV- Mountain Line will be holding a public hearing concerning a possible service change to Rt 8 Brookhaven on Thursday December 27 at 1:00 pm at the Westover Administration Building.

Mountain Line has been asked by the property owner of Westbrook Heights to no longer service their property. This change will also eliminate the turnaround point for this route. The proposed new turnaround point is past the Fire Department on Brookhaven Road. The Brookhaven route will turn right after the Brookhaven Volunteer Fire Department onto Buckhannon Ave, right onto Burbridge St, right onto Baker St and back to Brookhaven Road.

This proposed turnaround was determined to be the best and only other option but will eliminate Brookhaven service beyond Buckhannon Road.

We anticipate this change in service to begin on Wednesday January 2, 2019. Mountain Line encourages anyone whose service this will affect to attend the public hearing on Thursday December 27 at 1:00 pm.

Mountain Line’s David Bruffy Named 2018 Community

Transportation Manager of the Year

Pittsburgh, Pa. – June 14, 2018. David Bruffy, General Manager of the

Mountain Line Transit Authority in Morgantown, W.Va., was named

today the 2018 Community Transportation Manager of the Year by the

Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) at its

annual EXPO – held this year in Pittsburgh, Pa. – in recognition for his

success in cultivating local investment for Morgantown’s transit

system and his dedicated service to CTAA as West Virginia’s state

delegate and a founding member of its Small Urban Network (SUN).

The award, presented annually at the Association’s national EXPO,

recognizes excellence by managers of community transportation systems in

serving the needs of people in their communities. Bill McDonald, President of the

Association’s Board of Directors – a previous recipient of the award – noted

Mountain Line’s continually-growing ridership and expanded service options

under Bruffy’s leadership.

“Since 1997, he’s led the Mountain Line Transportation Authority in

Morgantown, including a successful levy measure in 2016 (requiring approval

from a supermajority of voters – a first in Monongalia County), allowing

continued growth a the system that carries more than 1.25 million annual riders,

with ridership growing annually by 20 percent,” said McDonald. ‘They partner

extensively with West Virginia University – of which he’s a proud alum, have

installed a solar power plant, were recognized in 2015 for the best safety,

maintenance and marketing programs in the state, launched the Transportation

Options for Veterans initiative in 2011 and more recently the NewFIT Program in

Monongalia County for appointment-based trips for seniors, workers and

medical care.”

The Community Transportation Association, established in 1989, is a national

non-profit, membership association committed to removing barriers to isolation and

improving mobility for all people. The Association provides informational resources,

technical assistance, training and certification, and many additional resources to

communities, transportation providers, and other groups to increase mobility and

improve the quality of community and public transportation.

TWELFTH ANNUAL NATIONAL DUMP THE PUMP DAY TO BE HELD ON JUNE 15

Dump the Pump. Ride Public Transit.

Morgantown, WV - With the continued fluctuation of gas prices, local traffic, and expense of having a vehicle Mountain Line announced today that it will join with other public transportation systems nationwide to participate in the twelfth annual National Dump the Pump Day on Thursday, June 15. The slogan of this year’s National Dump the Pump Day is “Dump the Pump. Ride Public Transit.”

Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), the 2017 National Dump the Pump Day is a day that encourages people to ride public transportation and to take them where they need to go, instead of driving a car. Started in June 2006 when gas prices were $3 per gallon, this national day emphasizes that public transportation is a convenient travel option that also helps people save money. According to the April APTA Transit Savings Report, individuals in a two-person household can save an average of more than $9,823 annually by downsizing to one car.

Additionally, public transportation is a cornerstone of local economies in urban, suburban, and rural communities. In fact, a public transportation helps to make a community economically prosperous and competitive. Every $1 invested in public transportation generates approximately $4 in economic returns, powering community growth and revitalization.

Planning a trip is easy by visiting www.busride.org or calling 304-291-RIDE.
