The Flint Mass Transportation Authority (abbreviated Flint MTA or MTA) is the operator of public mass transportation based in Flint, Michigan that primarily serves Genesee County. Service began in 1972, with the fleet consisting of 26 buses serving the city of Flint with 12 routes and hourly service. Current MTA fleet vehicles span from 1985 to 2016. The total MTA fleet includes 283 in service vehicles with two hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, 143 propane vehicles, and 16 hybrid diesel or gasoline/electric. Fourteen standard, all-day routes are provided within the city of Flint and its inner suburbs, as well as nine peak hour services (which feature different numbers for each variation of the route). Several regional routes are also operated using coach-style buses, providing all day commuter bus service to Oakland, Livingston, Lapeer, Ingham and Saginaw counties. The MTA also operates Your Ride, a mini-bus service for special needs customers, school buses, and peak route services. It also owns and operates the inter-modal Flint station, which also serves Amtrak, Greyhound Lines, and Indian Trails.

In 2015, the MTA partnered with Genesys Health System's Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) to provide transportation services for eligible citizens.
Your Ride also has special routes called Ride to Groceries, Ride to Wellness, and Ride to Worship.
On September 16, 2016, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the MTA a $310,040 grant to support the Ride to Wellness Initiative.
On March 16, 2017, the Flint Jewish Federation donated $40,000 to the MTA to support the Ride to Wellness Initiative.
