Pierce Transit provides free Wi-Fi on buses, and has invested in other technology to help riders access bus information “live,” in real-time. The agency delivers accurate bus information to our riders through multiple channels:
Public website

, option 2, then option 2 again. You may also request free printed schedules from our Customer Service department.
Pierce Transit continues to look for new resources to help make transit more convenient. For example, using Transit app, you can plan a trip that combines a bus and on-demand Runner service, and buy a ticket too! As well, we know that not all customers have access to smart phones and data plans. However, we have found the following programs that assist low- and moderate-income persons with free or reduced phones and service. You probably qualify if:
(1) You already participate in another state or federal assistance program such as the EBT program, food stamps, public housing, or Medicaid (and others).
OR
(2) Your household income is at or below 135% to 150% of the poverty level according to your state and/or the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

I got to the point where I couldn't drive and I couldn't work. SHUTTLE became my primary form of transportation.

Pierce Transit has been the only way that my mom gets around, along with her bike. That is how she
moves through the world. The bus is a
huge part of her life every single day.
As an adult who has different
disabilities, opportunities are
taken away from you. And
the bus has given her a
little bit back.
