A transit district or transit authority is a government agency or a public-benefit corporation created for the purpose of providing public transportation within a specific region.

A transit district may operate bus, rail, ferry services, or other types of transport. In some cases, the transit district may be part of a larger organization, such as a state or provincial department of transportation.
