The Lawton Area Transit System will be celebrating 20 years of service in the Lawton area, April 25-30, with special events for each day!

For most of us who remember the days before the bus system existed, it seems like it’s only been a minute since they started meeting the needs of residents to reach other parts of the city. town.

LATS is the public transportation system serving the city of Lawton, Oklahoma. LATS has been serving Lawton residents for over eighteen (18) years providing fixed routes and paratransit services during those years. LATS is governed by the Trust, a body made up of the elected members of Lawton’s council. LATS was managed on behalf of the Trust by HTG (Hendrickson Transportation Group). Buses travel clockwise and counter-clockwise along the routes with a fifteen minute separation between directions of travel. LATS also operates a shuttle service to Fort Sill Artillery Base. LATS operates a fixed route bus system five (5) days a week, being closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
