KI BOIS Area Transit System (KATS) is a rural public transportation organization centered mostly in Southeastern Oklahoma, and specifically in the counties of Adair, Cherokee, Haskell, Latimer, LeFlore, McIntosh, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Pittsburg, Sequoyah, and Wagoner.

[2] It is run by KI BOIS Community Action, Inc., a private, non-profit 501(c) corporation formed in December 1968 by merger of earlier Community Action agencies in Haskell, Latimer, and LeFlore counties.

[2] The primary purpose of KATS is to help poorer communities by providing low-cost access to Senior Citizen centers, grocery stores, medical services and jobs.

[4] KATS’ parent organization is a recipient of Oklahoma Department of Transportation funds under that agency's Title VI Plan,[5] as well as a recipient of support from other governmental agencies including the Cherokee Nation[6] and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.

Southeastern Oklahoma is occasionally still called Little Dixie, while the official tourism designation for Southeastern Oklahoma is Choctaw Country, formerly Kiamichi Country.
