Free rides extended through close of service on Thursday, Aug. 28
The Puget Sound is experiencing very warm weather. To help those who need access to transportation to get out of the heat, Pierce Transit is partnering with the Pierce County Department of Emergency Management to provide free bus or SHUTTLE rides (for registered SHUTTLE customers) to cooling centers and shelters. (Click here for list of Cooling Centers and Resources.)
The free rides began on Saturday, August 23 and, due to updated forecasts, have been extended through the end of service on Thursday, Aug. 28.
The free round trips are available throughout the day and evening for passengers who tell the driver they are traveling to or from a cooling center or shelter. For cooling center locations, see the attached document.
For help planning a trip, visit Pierce Transit’s Trip Planner at PierceTransit.org or call the agency’s Customer Service Call 253.581.8000 option 2, then option 2 again, Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
