The John W. Olver Transit Center, also called the JWO Transit Center, is an intermodal transit hub in Greenfield, Massachusetts. It currently serves Franklin Regional Transit Authority (FRTA) local bus routes plus intercity bus service. The center is also a train station that services Amtrak's Vermonter line.

Named after long-time western Massachusetts congressman John Olver, it is the first zero net energy transit center in the United States. Built with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, the facility was constructed with solar panels, geothermal wells, copper heat screens and other energy efficient technologies. It houses the FRTA offices and the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, the successor organization to the Franklin County county government.

Passenger amenities available at the JWO Transit Center are an indoor waiting area, rest rooms, a small café, public WiFi service and bicycle racks. Short-term parking is available for a limited number of vehicles and long-term parking is available one block away at the city lot located on Hope Street.

All FRTA fixed route bus routes connect at JWO Transit Center.

Peter Pan and Greyhound offer limited bus service from the Olver Transit Center; Greyhound provides a single round trip per day from Brattleboro to Springfield via Greenfield, while Peter Pan offers a single round trip per day from Greenfield to Springfield via Northampton and twice-daily service between Albany and Springfield. As of Oct 1, 2016, True North Transit's Massachusetts Area Express or "MAX" service operates one bus daily in each direction through the Olver Transit Center. Buses terminate at Brattleboro, VT, and Boston, MA.
