Due to COVID-19 concerns, the Metro Transit Administration Office is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Please call 608-266-4904 to verify your item has been found and schedule a pick-up time with our staff. Pick up times between 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. can be arranged. 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.
