About KWDoT

The City of Key West Department of Transportation (KWDoT) provides many services to the community, visitors, and internal customers, including over 400 city associates.  The service areas or functions KWDoT are responsible for public transportation and the Park N Ride Garage.

Anyone seeking bus schedules, route information, or real-time arrival/departure updates is encouraged to call the city's automated information system at 305-600-1455 for public transit services or visit the map to access functions online at Key West Transit.

Marathon Bus Stop Fairfield Inn Marathon Fairfield Inn Bus stop is located by the entrance to the Fairfield Inn on U.S. 1, Effective May 26.  The Lower Keys Shuttle will no longer pull into the Fairfield Inn parking lot.  New Cutaways added to Key West Public Transit Fleet.

Cutaway BusYou may have noticed the newest vehicle type in the Key West public transit fleet on the streets lately.  They are called cutaways, are A.D.A. compliant, and can transport 14 passengers.  When ridership is typically lower, these vehicles are integrated into the city bus routes.  They are a bit quieter and easier to maneuver.

By using the cutaways along with the existing 30-and 35-foot buses, the City of Key West is trying to maximize transportation services to the riding public in the safest, most efficient, and environmentally conscious method possible.  

Buses may be delayed at times due to heavy seasonal traffic.
