[3] At the time of completion, this was the second hospital people mover system in the United States after the Duke University Medical Center Patient Rapid Transit.

[7] Costing $280,000 annually to operate, the Huntsville Hospital Tram System handles approximately 2,200 passengers per day.

[9] [2] By December 1998, plans for the system moved forward after gaining approval of several property variances from the Huntsville Board of Zoning Adjustment to allow for its construction.

[1][4] By 2004, use of the tram resulted in the elimination of approximately 4,500 annual ambulance trips and the use of two full-time shuttle vans between the two main facilities.

[11] Due to this reduction in the number of vehicle trips made, Huntsville Hospital was awarded a 2004 Industrial Air Pollution Control Achievement Award from the city of Huntsville Air Pollution Control Board.
