I got to the point where I couldn't drive and I couldn't work. SHUTTLE became my primary form of transportation. What was wonderful about it was it gave me the opportunity to still do volunteer work, be able to go to appointments, go to church and shopping, meet with friends... to have meaning in my day-to-day.

I took the Pierce Transit Travel Training program and it's helped me immensely. It has helped me be aware of my surroundings, ask questions, have patience, and get my more adventurous side out. Without travel training, I wouldn't know how to get to my aerospace job.

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.
