The Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority

The Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority, also known as the Peace Bridge Authority, is a public organization that manages the Peace Bridge connecting Buffalo, New York, with Fort Erie, Ontario. Its primary responsibility is to oversee the operation, maintenance, and financing of the bridge and related crossing facilities. Established to facilitate international trade and travel, the authority ensures efficient border crossing processes, maintains infrastructure safety, and supports economic activity between the U.S. and Canada. It operates as a government agency but manages its own budget and projects to support cross-border connectivity.
