Pierce County’s rapid growth is straining our local transit system. Pierce Transit’s primary funding source—a 0.6% sales tax—has remained unchanged since 2002.

We’re currently developing a draft package to expand local transit, shaped by years of community input, data, and long-range planning. The Pierce Transit Board has not yet voted on whether to place a measure on the ballot. A final package will be presented to the Board in July.

If a proposed 3¢ per $10 spent* sales tax increase is sent to and passed by voters, we have a plan to deliver what our community has asked us for: transit that serves more people, more places, more often.

Join us for a community conversation about the future of local transit in Pierce County. We’ll share information about potential service enhancements, funding considerations, and what’s being explored for the future. You’ll have the opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and provide feedback as we shape what’s next—together.
