Vestviken Kollektivtrafikk (VKT) (lit. Vestviken Public Transport) is the public transport administration for the counties of Buskerud, Telemark and Vestfold in Norway. VTK is responsible for planning, organising and marketing bus transport in the three counties, but does not operate any buses. Instead the operation is done by private companies based on public service obligation contracts or negotiations. VTK is organised as a limited company owned by the three county administrations. The administration is located in Tønsberg.
VKT organises bus routs managed by 650 buses driving 26 million km per year. The operators are (as of 2007) Drangedal Bilruter, Fjord1 Hallingdal Billag, Nettbuss, Schøyens Bilcentraler, Telemark Bilruter, Telemark Kollektivtrafikk and Tinn Billag.
