| 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. |
