The Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) will begin handing out the free transit pass, known as the GO Pass, to eligible riders on March 31. The pass, which was mandated by the county board of supervisors, allows all Milwaukee County residents 65 and older unlimited free rides on MCTS buses. The free pass will also be available for residents with disabilities who meet certain requirements*. Both groups are currently allowed to ride on the bus for half fare.
MCTS will process applications and hand out the free passes at the MCTS Administration Building (1942 N. 17th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53205) between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., Monday thru Friday (the pass will NOT be handed out April 3). The free pass can be used immediately. Users must have the pass to receive the free rides.
Anyone coming to get the pass is encouraged to fill out a GO Pass application in advance.
