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.
