Milton Transit is the public transit system in the town of Milton, Ontario, Canada. Milton is in Halton Regional Municipality, part of the Greater Toronto Area.

Milton Transit was inaugurated in 1972, and greatly expanded from 3 fixed routes to 5 fixed routes in September 2005. It replaced the former dial-a-bus and GO Transit local connector, which used school buses. The fixed route service was operated in partnership with Oakville Transit, which, however, never provided services connecting the municipalities.

Oakville Transit also originally stored and maintained the buses at their garage. Buses were later stored and serviced at the Mississauga Truck and Bus Collision (MTB) facility, in Milton. That eliminated unnecessary travel to/from Oakville, as the buses previously had been deadheaded to and from Oakville each day. Prior to the agreement with MTB, Milton's buses were stored at GO Transit's Milton garage. The Town of Milton extended the contract for conventional transit services with Oakville Transit for a further three years, effective March 1, 2008.^[1]

In early 2010, the Town of Milton announced that it would be ending its agreements with Oakville Transit and Mississauga Truck and Bus, and that Pacific Western Transportation would be taking over all aspects of service beginning March 8, 2010.^[2]

On September 26, 2022, Milton Transit began service to Lisgar GO station in Mississauga along Steeles Avenue via Toronto Premium Outlets, giving it a connection with Miway and Brampton Transit – the system's first connections to other municipal transit agencies since the connection with Oakville Transit ended.^[3]

Since the inauguration of the service, there have been major adjustments in order to connect with the growing population of the town, and to the Milton line commuter train and bus routes operated by GO Transit.

Milton Transit connects with the following transit agencies:

• Brampton Transit
• GO Transit
• MiWay (Mississauga Transit)

• Milton GO Station^[4] - All Standard Routes + School Routes 52, 53, and 54
  • Connects with GO Transit Milton line
  • Connects with GO Transit bus routes 21, 22, and 27A

Mississauga Terminal

• Lisgar GO Station^[5] - Route 21
  • Connects with GO Transit Milton line
  • Connects with GO Transit bus route 21
  • Connects with MiWay Route 38
  • Connects with Brampton Transit regular route 11 and Züm routes 511, 511A , and 511C

As the last train from Union Station along the Milton line arrives at the Milton GO Station, drivers will create a routing based on passengers' destinations within the designated zone.

Trans-cab is a supplementary service that replaces Route 1 between the Milton GO Station and the Milton Hwy 401 Park and Ride facility at Martin Street. Fares are the same as regular Milton Transit Fares, plus an additional 50 cents.^[8]

First Canada and A1 Taxi^[9] had the contract for accessible services which operate on demand until sometime in 2015. Pacific Western Transportation which also holds the contract for conventional service took over operations of Access+ using a Milton branded bus.

Milton Transit's fleet consists of 10 New Flyer D40LF - three purchased in 2009, two in 2010 and 5 used ones (ex-Orange County Transportation Authority and later Pacific Western) in 2014 and 2015, 3 New Flyer XD40's (purchased in 2012) and 3 Chevrolet Arboc SOM26D's in 2013 and two more in 2015, two 2016 Nova Bus LFS for service expansion along with three 2017 and one 2018 Nova Bus LFS.
