MCTS Forward

Honoring our legacy. Connecting our future.

What is MCTS Forward?

MCTS Forward is a collaborative effort to think about the future of public transit in Milwaukee County. Amidst the current budget shortfall, this initiative will be a transparent conversation with the public, stakeholders, and the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors about what MCTS's bus network could look like within a set budget.

 

This project will chart a fresh course for how MCTS can strengthen and connect communities within the county by having a clear conversation about the community's goals for transit and designing a new transit network based on those goals.
