Greensboro Transit Authority is the operator of public transportation in the Greensboro, North Carolina area. It complements three other local and one regional bus service in the Piedmont Triad. Fifteen routes travel almost solely within the city limits.

In 1991, the Greensboro Transit Authority assumed operation of a private bus system run by Duke Power. The Greensboro Transit Authority consists of nine board members, each appointed for a two-year term by members of Greensboro City Council.

GTA collaborated with seven local colleges and universities in 2006 to create Higher Education Area Transit (HEAT), with nine routes serving the higher learning institutions and select destinations throughout the city.

GTA also operates Specialized Community Area Transportation (SCAT) a door-to-door transportation service for passengers with a disability that makes riding fixed routes difficult.

In early 2011, GTA added a number of diesel-electric hybrid buses to their fleet.
