Pierce Transit to Adjust Bus Routes Aug. 30

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Pierce Transit will implement bus route schedule changes effective Sunday, Aug. 30, as part of its twice-yearly update. Improvements include better connections at transfer points, alignment with school schedules, and adjustments to Route 400 for Sounder train coordination.

The transit agency also announced free rides to cooling centers for residents from Aug. 4-7 due to high temperatures. Free round-trip service will be available on all Pierce Transit routes, including Runner and SHUTTLE paratransit for registered users.

Park & Ride lots at TCC and SR 512 will close temporarily for maintenance on Aug. 26-28 and Aug. 31-Sep. 3, respectively, with vehicles required to be removed before each closure.
