Abstract:This report presents a summary of the system and service characteristics and impacts of the Phase I Morgantown People Mover System. The major areas of discussion of this report include an overview of Phase I Morgantown People Mover system and the impact evaluation effort associated with it, a description of system performance and service characteristics, system ridership, system finances, system impacts, and an identification of experiences that are transferable to other applications of automated guideway transit. System performance in terms of reliability improved as the system matured. Service characteristics of the People Mover system were generally better than the prior University bus system. Corridor auto travel did not decrease; however, on a more localized level, auto vehicle trips did decrease. No adverse environmental impacts resulted from the system. Some locational decisions of the facilities were influenced by the People Mover system. Experiences that have potential application to other AGT systems included the start-up, safety, and station design experience of the Morgantown system. Additionally, the modelling of travel behavior of choice users provided potentially useful information concerning the mode choice behavior of riders of other AGT systems.
