System Profile
The Muskegon Area Transit System (MATS) was originally formed in 1969 as the Muskegon County Metropolitan Transportation System (MCMTS). In 1972, MCMTS absorbed the operation of another public transit organization, the Muskegon Area Transit Authority (MTA), and became the Muskegon Area Transit System. MATS is a Department of Muskegon County and is authorized to provide public mass transportation services within Muskegon County. MATS currently operates service on nine fixed-routes with a 100 percent accessible fleet utilizing 10 buses during maximum peak service and serving the urbanized areas consisting of the cities of Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, Roosevelt Park and Norton Shores and Muskegon Township. MATS also provides paratransit services to meet the public demand.
