The Puget Sound area is forecast to experience high temperatures from Saturday, June 13 through Tuesday, June 16. 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 will be in effect on Pierce Transit services from start of service Saturday, June 13 through close of service Tuesday, June 16. 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. Shelters are open in many Pierce County locations including Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, Parkland and Gig Harbor.
