Southwest Wisconsin Transit

The Southwest Wisconsin Transit Team (SWTT) was formed in 2006 to explore ways to collaborate and improve existing transportation services, employing a regional approach to the provision of transportation services for area residents. The team includes representation from Grant, Green, Iowa, Lafayette and Richland counties, as well as The Hodan Center, Southwest Opportunities Center, Southwest Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, Southwestern Wisconsin Community Action Program, and the Wisconsin Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. LIFT was created by the SWTT to coordinate existing services and provide a regional approach to fulfilling transportation needs in Southwest Wisconsin.

“Leadership in Innovative Flexible Transportation”

Need one?  Got one.  Give one!

Leadership in Innovative Flexible Transportation (LIFT) coordinates existing transportation services throughout Southwest Wisconsin. We are a community-based initiative serving the commuting, aging, disabled and low income populations in the region. LIFT facilitates access to available transportation services, minimizes duplication of those services, and seeks cost-effective transport utilizing available resources. LIFT is able to look at transportation needs from a broad perspective and can match all populations with the transportation services that meet their needs.  LIFT is collaboration of county governments and regional agencies toward improving and coordinating passenger transportation in Southwest Wisconsin. LIFT seeks to maximize resources and mobilize support for effective rural community transportation. LIFT staff are guided by the Southwest Wisconsin Transit Team, and employed through the Southwestern Wisconsin Community Action Program.
