The [[Palm Coast Metropolitan Transit Authority]] ('''METRO''' or '''PCMTA''') is the metropolitan transit authority for Sierra County as well as the entirety of the Palm Coast metro area. It operates the bus, light rail, and metrorail systems within the county and is an arm of the Palm Coast Consortium of Metropolitan County Governments. It has the largest transit fleet in Verona.  
The Palm Coast Metropolitan Transit Authority (PCMTA) is the metropolitan transit authority for the entirety of the Palm Coast metro region (there is an overlap in Rosslyn with its city metro). It operates the bus, light rail, and commuter rail systems within the county and is an arm of the Palm Coast Consortium of Metropolitan County Governments (PCCMCG). It has the largest transit fleet in the country and serves roughly 35 million residents. Due to the sheer area of the metro region, each county is broken up into districts. Sierra County is broken into six districts: Central, West, North, South, Sierra Core, and Mirada Core. These districts have their own representatives that plan the area and work with residents to develop the best transit plans for them. All cities and communities within Sierra County have bus access, while most have light rail and metro rail, the exceptions being the cities of Aquila, Doamo, and Terrasina, though these communites are connected with feeder buses to light rail.


PCMTA also operates all of the major airports in the area via the [[Palm Coast Airport Authority]] (except Rosslyn International Airport, which is maintained by the city), including [[Sierra International Airport]], the busiest airport in northern Sarpedon, which sits in an unincorporated section of the county between the cities of Mirada and Sierra.
The PCCMCG also operates [[Sierra International Airport]], which sits in an annexed area of the city of Sierra, just northwest of the bulk of the city's area, not far from Mirada. All major airlines fly into SIX as it is the primary gateway for Cartadania, and as a result, is the busiest airport in the country, and at various times throughout history, the world.
