The Société de transport de Lévis also known as STLevis (Lévis Transit Corporation) is a public transportation agency created in 1980, operating mainly in Lévis on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River, being the counterpart of the Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC) on the north side. STLevis offers connections between Lévis and Quebec City; RTC buses currently do not have any services to the south shore.

The STLévis serves a population of about 150,000 on a territory of 551.5 km2 (212.9 sq mi) in the region of Chaudière-Appalaches, including Lévis and the municipality of Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon. The corporation operates 71 40ft low-floor diesel vehicles, 12 40ft low-floor hybrid vehicles, 8 articulated buses, 4 midibuses, and employs 172 people.[1] In 2016, it served more than 4.2 million riders.
