Proposed MCTS route eliminations may impact UPASS users, commuters

August 13, 2019

Facing a deficit in its 2020 budget, the Milwaukee County Transit System has proposed eliminating its special UBUS and Freeway Flyer routes. This change would impact students who use a UPASS to travel to campus via UBUS and Freeway Flyer routes, as well as any faculty and staff who commute via these routes.

(Note: MCTS analysis shows that only a fraction of Marquette students uses UBUS and Freeway Flyer routes; the vast majority are using local MCTS bus routes, which are not under consideration for cuts.)

Milwaukee County’s budget process won’t be finalized until mid-November; however, MCTS thinks these cuts are a likely scenario. The following UBUS and Freeway Flyer routes may be eliminated as early as January 2020:

  • 40U Holt College UBUS
  • 42U 6th Street – Port Washington Road UBUS
  • 44U Fair Park – Hales Corners UBUS
  • 49U Brown Deer UBUS
  • 40 College Avenue Flyer
  • 43 Hales Corners Flyer
  • 44 State Fair Park Flyer
  • 46 Loomis-Holt Flyer
  • 48 South Shore Flyer
  • 49 Brown Deer-Bayshore Flyer

More information is available from MCTS online. Watch the MCTS website or follow Marquette Today for updates related to UPASS ridership and any other transit news affecting Marquette commuters.
