Milwaukee County Transit System is a critical part of Wisconsin’s transportation infrastructure. Large and small employers throughout metro Milwaukee rely on MCTS to bring them workers – and slowdowns due to labor shortages at manufacturing facilities could have a ripple effect on businesses across the entire state. This isn’t just a Milwaukee issue, either. On the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, the proposed cuts to MCTS could deal a fatal blow to our city, our neighborhoods and our ability to provide for our families. To put this shortfall in context, a $26.5 million cut would result in a 20 percent cut in service which could represent nearly one-half of all routes in the system spread across Milwaukee County. With the end of federal ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funding and looming cuts at both the county and state levels, MCTS is facing a projected $26.5 million budget shortfall in 2025. The Milwaukee County Transit System is facing a crisis – and we need your help.
