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 began its present service on August 16, 2004, and expanded from 3 fixed routes to 5 fixed routes on September 5, 2005. This system replaced the former dial-a-bus and GO Transit local connector, that utilized school buses. The fixed route service is operated in partnership with Oakville Transit, although they do not provide services connecting these municipalities.

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

Milton Transit purchased four new buses in 2008 which, although operated by Oakville Transit, are stored and serviced at the Mississauga Truck and Bus Collision (MTB) facility, located in Milton, which eliminates unnecessary travel to/from Oakville. They have also purchased two used buses from Oakville, and one from MTB. The Town of Milton extended the contract for conventional transit services with Oakville Transit for a further three years, effective March 1, 2008.^[1]
