The Transit Center in downtown Wichita.

Wichita Transit is committed to meeting the needs and priorities of the citizens of Wichita with the most courteous, affordable, reliable, and economical public transportation possible.

Our goals are simply to provide the most cost-efficient and effective service within established budget parameters, the most convenient service possible, and improve passenger amenities and technologies within available capital funding.

The transit system currently operates 51 buses (all ADA compliant) and 26 wheelchair lift vans on 18 fixed routes, 17 demand-response paratransit routes operated by the department, and rides purchased under contract from 6 social services agencies.

Annually, Wichita Transit carries over two million passengers on our fixed route bus service, and over 320,800 disabled passengers on our paratransit vans.
