The Lee County government announced that LeeTran will stop running routes onto Fort Myers Beach and cut off water to the island as Hurricane Milton approaches.

Public transportation will stop by noon Monday.

All LeeTran services will convert to off-island transit only.

This is to assist with the Town of Fort Myers Beach’s request for residents to leave the island.

Lee County Utilities will shut off water to Fort Myers Beach at noon on Tuesday as a precautionary measure to protect infrastructure. It was a measure that was also implemented during Hurricane Ian.

The county encourages Fort Myers Beach residents to continue to monitor the Town of Fort Myers Beach’s storm updates.
