Administrative History
Muncie Indiana Transit System (MITS) was organized in 1981, when the city of Muncie, Indiana took
over business service from a private firm. The mission of the organization is “to provide high quality
public transportation that addresses the needs of the community at the least cost to the taxpayer and the
user, and in the process, contribute[s] to the community’s economy and quality of life.” MITS provides
fifteen bus routes within the Muncie city limits, door-to-door bus service for the disabled, trolley service
in downtown Muncie, and door to door services for individuals who work during hours when bus service
is not available. MITS was named Outstanding Public Transportation System by the American Public
Transportation Association (APTA) in 2005. This award recognizes excellence in ridership growth,
financial management, system security and safety, and customer service. The APTA awarded MITS the
Gold Award for Safety in 2007.
