The Manitoba Transit Heritage Association, Inc. (MTHA) was established on July 21, 1989 by a group of dedicated Winnipeg Transit employees and retirees interested in preserving, recording, and sharing transit history.
The MTHA is a membership-based museum and registered tax charitable organization whose volunteers continue to restore and operate the largest collection of authentic vintage transit vehicles in the Province of Manitoba. We provide these historically accurate vehicles for appearances in movies and television, and together with our Transit Museum Bus bring the story of public transportation to schools and other community events for public education and enjoyment.

In Memoriam: John Kapusta
It is with extreme sadness that the Manitoba Transit Heritage Association has learnt of the passing recently of one it's founding members, Mr. John Kapusta.
John retired in 1994 as Superintendent of Maintenance for Winnipeg Transit, having worked for 42 years for the company and it's predecessors. John, along with the late Ron Alexander, were the key players in establishing the Manitoba Transit Heritage Association in 1989.
John will be dearly missed for his knowledge, dedication to the MTHA and commitment to community.
Rest In Peace.
