Nebraska Public Transit Week is an opportunity for all Nebraskans to show support for their local transit system and to experience the benefits of public transportation for themselves.


History

Public transit is an essential service in Nebraska with over 4.7 million passenger boardings in 2022. Transit providers traveled almost 10 million miles to get Nebraskans where they needed to go.
