West Virginia’s round-the-clock motorist assist program is about to become, well, not so round-the-clock.

According to The Associated Press, fuel costs and budgetary problems are forcing the state’s Division of Highways to scale back the hours of operation for its Courtesy Patrol from 24 hours a day to about 16.

The move will also eliminate about 37 of the program’s 150 full-time employees.

“It’s certainly a service that’s important to the people of the state, but at the same time it’s paid for by the Division of Highways,” Lara Ramsburg, a spokeswoman for Gov. Joe Manchin, told The AP. “Right now the Division of Highways is being hit two ways: the higher cost of fuel to run the Courtesy Patrol vehicles, and also the higher cost to run our construction and road maintenance vehicles.”

No one is saying when the program might reach all-hours service again. However, a recent study by West Virginia University last year recommended the program be removed from the Division of Highways’ jurisdiction entirely, due to budgetary problems.
