MAX Transit

MAX Transit Macatawa Area Express (MAX) is the public transit system for the greater Holland/Zeeland area. Its bus garage is located at 11660 Greenway Dr in Holland.

Macatawa Area Express (MAX) has been serving the greater Holland-Zeeland area of West Michigan with fixed route bus service since 2000. Our mission is to create a sustainable transportation system to be used by all residents of the Macatawa Area with linkages to other transit systems. MAX is governed by an independent Transportation Authority board comprised of representatives from the City of Hol

land and Holland Charter Township. Oversight of the transit system was transferred from the City of Holland to the Authority on July 1, 2007. The Authority contracts with the City of Holland for essential administrative support. MAX is funded by federal and state grants, a transit millage for the City of Holland and Holland Charter Township, and passenger fares. The City of Zeeland also contracts with MAX transit for demand response service for its residents. The MAX administrative office is located at the Padnos Transportation Center located at 171 Lincoln Ave. Each year, MAX Transit safely transports more than 400,000 passengers to their destinations in the local area and ridership continues to grow.
