Fremont County’s Public Transportation
Our History
Established in 1989, the Shoshone and Arapaho Nations Transit (SANTA) commenced public transportation services on the Wind River Indian Reservations and Fremont County. In 1996, governance transitioned to the Fremont County Association of Governments, leading to the transformation of the organization into the Wind River Transportation Authority (WRTA). Since then, the WRTA team has been steadfast in its commitment to serving central Wyoming with transportation.
Our Staff
Our staff are trained professionals dedicated to delivering safe, dependable, and courteous public transportation services. Each team member is trained in accordance with applicable federal public transportation standards and industry best practices, reflecting WRTA’s commitment to safety, compliance, operational excellence, and quality service.
Our Funding
WRTA proudly receives its funding from multiple sources, with primary support coming from:

FTA 5339 Bus and Bus Facilities Grant
WDOT Highway Safety Office

Donations
We are deeply grateful for these funding opportunities, as they make it possible for us to continue providing essential transportation services to our community.
