Namekagon Transit

Namekagon Transit is the primary provider of mass transportation in Hayward, Wisconsin and the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation with three routes serving the region. The name "Namekagon" in the Ojibwe language means "place of the sturgeon". As of 2021, the system provided 58,404 rides over 32,795 annual vehicle revenue hours with 16 vehicles.

The transit system is a joint operation of Sawyer County and the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians. While Namekagon Transit primarily serves Hayward and the surrounding LCO reservation, demand-response service is available in four counties. Previously, Burnett County was also served by the system.
