About Harbor Transit
Harbor Transit Serving Our Community Since 1975
Harbor Transit started more than 45 years ago as a small Dial-A-Ride service with just two vans and a 10-square-mile service area. As community members started using our service, Harbor Transit gained popularity and was able to expand. In 2012, we shifted from the old DART service and established Harbor Transit Multi-Modal Transit System.
We’re Dedicated to Exceptional Service
Today, as Harbor Transit, we are able to serve a 55-square-mile area with a fleet of 29 accessible buses. We transport more than 250,000 riders a year in our expanded service area of 55 square miles including the City of Ferrysburg, City of Grand Haven, Grand Haven Township, Village of Spring Lake, and Spring Lake Township. We’re proud to say that one of the values that helped Harbor Transit grow is our dedication to exceptional service. That’s a value we’ve always strived to maintain, and it’s one of the reasons we continue to provide an on-demand, curb-to-curb transit system today.
