WHO WE ARE

The Discover Niagara Shuttle is a free transportation service in Niagara County, launched by the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area in 2016, and it’s been rolling ever since. Created to connect both visitors and locals to the many treasures of our region, the shuttle makes it easy to explore beyond the Falls.

While Niagara Falls and the State Park are world-renowned destinations, we knew there was so much more to share. From natural wonders to rich history and cultural heritage, we’re proud to help travelers experience the full story of this remarkable corner of New York State.

Our small-but-mighty team is here to help you DISCOVER NIAGARA, and do so with convenience and comfort!

About the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area

National Heritage Areas (NHAs) are designated by Congress as places where natural, cultural, and historic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape. Through their resources, NHAs tell nationally important stories that celebrate our nation's diverse heritage. NHAs are lived-in landscapes. Consequently, NHA entities collaborate with communities to determine how to make heritage relevant to local interests and needs.

NHAs are a grassroots, community-driven approach to heritage conservation and economic development. Through public-private partnerships, NHA entities support historic preservation, natural resource conservation, recreation, heritage tourism, and educational projects. Leveraging funds and long-term support for projects, NHA partnerships foster pride of place and an enduring stewardship ethic.

The work of the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area is to enhance public appreciation for the communities, significant historic and natural resources, and landscapes of the Niagara region. The National Heritage area works through a network of heritage area partners who seek to make interpretive, environmental, economic and social improvements that benefits residents and visitors alike. Where initiative is lacking, the National Heritage Area will fill the gap. In pursuing this mission, the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area encourages historic preservation, recreational access and environmental recovery. We value authenticity, cultural diversity, high-quality design, energy efficiency, regional and cross border leadership, open communication and transparent operations.
