Traveling across the rural Door County peninsula can prove a challenge. The county spans nearly 500 square miles and contains 19 municipalities, each separated by large expanses of farmland, forests and bluffs. In the winter, there are harsh road conditions. In the summer, more than 2.5 million tourists visit the county, many with vehicles of their own, increasing traffic.
To simplify the lives of locals on their daily journeys, Knock has provided a guide of affordable transportation and public transit resources.
