The Puget Sound area will experience high temperatures this week. To help those who need transportation to get out of the heat and shelter during hot weather, Pierce Transit is partnering with Pierce County Human Services to provide free rides to local cooling centers and shelters on bus, Runner and SHUTTLE paratransit (for registered SHUTTLE customers).
The free rides to cooling centers and shelters are in effect on Pierce Transit services from start of service Tuesday, August 4 through end of service on Friday, August 7. The free round trips are available throughout the day and evening on those dates for passengers who tell the driver they are traveling to or from a cooling center or shelter. Cooling shelters are open in many Pierce County locations including Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, Parkland and Gig Harbor.
