MCTS Excellence

For every employee of the Milwaukee County Transit System, MCTS Excellence is more than just a saying, it is a way of life.

Each year MCTS employees receive hundreds of commendations. MCTS management is proud of the great work of employees and every employee receives a formal letter of recognition for each commendation. This webpage highlights some of these big and small acts of kindness.

We want to hear your stories of MCTS Excellence. If you see someone practicing MCTS Excellence, please let us know by filing a commendation for that person.

Check back here often because we will keep sharing new stories of MCTS Excellence.
