The Puget Sound area will experience high temperatures on Tuesday, June 2. To help those who need access to transportation to get out of the heat and shelter during hot weather, Pierce Transit is partnering with Pierce County Human Services to provide free bus, Runner and SHUTTLE paratransit (for registered SHUTTLE customers) rides to local cooling centers and shelters.
The free rides to cooling centers and shelters will be in effect on Pierce Transit’s service on Tuesday, June 2 from start of service through close of service. The free round trips are available throughout the day and evening on June 2 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.
