The Puget Sound area will experience high temperatures Tuesday, July 14 and Wednesday, July 15. 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 on bus, Runner and SHUTTLE paratransit (for registered SHUTTLE customers) to local cooling centers and shelters.
The free rides to cooling centers and shelters are in effect on Pierce Transit services from start of service on Tuesday, July 14 through close of service Wednesday, July 15, but may be extended if hot weather continues. 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 centers and shelters are open in many Pierce County locations including Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, Parkland and Gig Harbor.
