Oakville Transit is the public transit agency in Oakville, Ontario, Canada since 1972. It is a department of the town and a member of the Canadian Urban Transit Association. It offers the typical conventional bus service, a para-transit service called care-A-van, and two on-demand shared ride services in North and Southeast Oakville, and the neighbourhoods of Falgarwood and Palermo West/Bronte Creek; Home to Hub and the Ride On-Demand Pilot program. The care-A-van and Ride On-Demand services take riders directly to a specific address while the Home to Hub service takes riders to designated transit hubs near their location.
The original logo for Oakville Transit, no longer in use, was by designer Stuart Ash.
Services Oakville Transit operates mainly fixed-route bus services, but has slowly grown its on-demand service offerings since 2022.
The Oakville GO Station, located at 214 Cross Avenue, is the main bus terminus. Oakville Transit connects with Burlington Transit in Burlington to the west, MiWay in Mississauga to the east, GO Transit rail services to the south, and GO Transit bus services to the south and east. Bus routes service Oakville, Bronte, Appleby, and Clarkson GO stations, along with Via Rail and Amtrak services that operate out of Oakville GO Station. Bus services also service Highway 407 carpool parking lots at Trafalgar Road and Walkers Line in Burlington. East–west routes terminate service at their destination while loop routes maintain their service until returning to their starting terminal.
School Specials Oakville Transit operates several routes known as 'School Specials'. School specials operate weekdays only based on the start and finish times of local schools.
The school specials routes serve White Oaks Secondary School, Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School, Abbey Park High School, St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Secondary School, T. A. Blakelock High School, Oakville Trafalgar High School, and Garth Webb Secondary School.
Routes do not run on holidays, March Break or during the summer.
Senior Specials Routes Before March 2020, Oakville Transit operated Senior Specials routes that travelled between local nursing homes and commercial centres throughout Oakville.

All conventional busses are wheelchair-accessible with capacity for up to two wheelchair passengers per bus. All buses are equipped with Wi-Fi access and real-time bus tracking. By 2028, 50% of the Oakville Transit bus fleet will be converted to electric vehicles to help the Town of Oakville's meet its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
