The Norwalk Transit District (NTD) is the primary provider of public transportation services in Norwalk, Connecticut, United States, and surrounding communities. The local Norwalk fixed-route bus transit system, is the primary service of the district linking Norwalk and its immediate suburbs. The agency also operates regional bus service as far east as Milford (with GBT and Milford Transit District) and commuter shuttles to Metro-North stations.

Wheels2U microtransit services operate in Norwalk and Westport.

Paratransit door-to-door services are available for residents in the service area unable to use regular transit services or, on a limited basis, are age 65 or older. Norwalk Transit contracts with local transportation service providers to perform some of the door-to-door services, and is also the provider of public transit for the Westport Transit District.

The city of Norwalk founded the Norwalk Transit District in 1978, seven years after the Connecticut Company ceased operations in Norwalk outside of their route linking Norwalk to Stamford (which continues as Connecticut Transit Stamford Route 341).^[3] It was a pioneer in the operation of microtransit in Connecticut^[4], with services rolling out in 2018 and expanding in 2024. The district receives municipal, state (Connecticut Department of Transportation) and federal (Federal Transit Administration) funding.
