GO Transit, formerly the Oshkosh Transit System is the primary provider of mass transportation in Winnebago County, Wisconsin.

History

Service began in 1978, following the takeover of the struggling private City Transit Lines. Nine routes serve the city from Monday through Saturday. Since 1999, students at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh have been able to ride for free. Via Route 10, OTS serves Neenah, Wisconsin and connects with Valley Transit of Appleton, Wisconsin.

The name was changed from the Oshkosh Transit System on September 17, 2012.
