Abstract: For any smooth, Hausdorff and second-countable manifold $N$ one can define the Fréchet space ${\mathcal C}^{\infty}(N)$ of smooth functions on $N$ and its strong dual ${\cal E}'(N)$ of compactly supported distributions on $N$. It is a standard result that the strong dual of ${\cal E}'(N)$ is naturally isomorphic to ${\mathcal C}^{\infty}(N)$, which implies that both ${\mathcal C}^{\infty}(N)$ and ${\cal E}'(N)$ are reflexive locally convex spaces. In this paper we generalise that result to the setting of transversal distributions on the total space of a surjective submersion $\pi : P\to M$. We show that the strong ${\mathcal C}^{\infty}_c(M)$-dual of the space ${\cal E}'_{\pi} (P)$ of $\pi$-transversal distributions is naturally isomorphic to the ${\mathcal C}^{\infty}_c(M)$-module ${\mathcal C}^{\infty}(P)$.
