About Milwaukee County Transit System (“MCTS”)

Milwaukee County Transit System (“MCTS”) is the largest transit agency in Wisconsin and primary transit provider for Milwaukee County, operated by Milwaukee Transport Services, Inc. (“MTS”), a Quasi-Governmental Instrumentality of Milwaukee County.  MCTS ranks among the top 50 transit agencies in the United States by total passenger trips.  MCTS is innovating the way people across southeast Wisconsin get to work, school, medical appointments, entertainment and anywhere else they need to go.  With a fleet of over 300 clean-diesel buses and a dedicated team of 1,000 drivers, mechanics, and administrative staff, MCTS provides over 16 million rides each year and generates a massive economic impact for the region. MCTS also manages Transit Plus, the paratransit service for persons with disabilities, which delivers over 350,000 additional rides through that service. 

In 2022, MCTS launched an all-electric, zero-exhaust emission East-West Bus Rapid Transit (“BRT”) line, giving riders convenient access to employment, education, and recreation in downtown Milwaukee, Milwaukee’s Near West Side, Marquette University, Wauwatosa, and the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center.  MCTS looks forward to developing additional BRT routes in the coming years.  Fare collection for all routes is powered by Cubic’s Umo application, providing riders a choice of mobile app or smartcards for fare payment.
