Town of Fort Erie Transit System provides local bus service to the inhabitants of Fort Erie, Ontario, just across the Peace Bridge and the Niagara River from Buffalo, New York.

A locally owned company, Dunn the Mover, has provided public bus service to the Town of Fort Erie since 1977, and has entered into a Public Transit Service Improvement Agreement with the town, expiring September 6, 2012. ^[1] Consideration will be given to make the transit service accessible to as many riders as possible without impacting on bus scheduling. ^[2]
