The Duluth Transit Authority (DTA) is the operator of mass transportation in Duluth, Minnesota. Service is also provided in Proctor, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin as well as the eastern edge of Hermantown, Minnesota. The organization was formed in 1969 by the Minnesota State Legislature. Express service is provided during rush hours to New Duluth (2X), Proctor (3X), Lakeside (7X - PM only), Superior (16X - PM only), and Hermantown (20X). As of 2009, the DTA had 6 hybrid buses in service. During peak hours, an average of 45 buses will be in service at any one time. The transit agency also owns three park and ride lots and has bike racks on the front of every bus. In 2009, the DTA was named Transit System of the Year by the Minnesota Public Transit Association.

According to the agency, the system carried nearly 3.2 million riders in 2009, a 1.4% decline from 2008.^[1] This makes it the third-largest bus system by ridership to serve Minnesota, after the Metro Transit and University of Minnesota Campus Shuttle systems in Minneapolis – Saint Paul.^[2][3]
