GETO
Oxford-University Transit, or OUTransit for short, has become a mainstay in the city for locals and college students. With inexpensive fares, plenty of routes and consistently outstanding service, there's no better way to get around.
With an annual ridership of 1.5 million passengers, OUT is the most utilized transit system in Mississippi. OUT is supported by MDOT and RATP Dev. By helping students get to class and Oxfordians transverse the city, OUT is an integral part of Oxford's infrastructure and mobility. OUT is zero fare until September 30, 2022.

OUT is dedicated to providing affordable, comprehensive transit services. Though OUT often offers free rides to all riders, there is usually a ride fare.
