Lost & Found
Lost and Found Pick-up by Appointment Only!
Due to COVID-19 concerns, the Metro Transit Administration Office is closed. All lost and found pick-ups are by appointment only until further notice.
Please call 608-266-4904 to verify your item has been found and schedule a pick-up time with our staff. If possible, please call when you arrive at our office to arrange for a 'no-contact' pick-up.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Please call or email as soon as possible to report a lost item on the bus.
