This year’s TDP highlights agency work accomplished in 2010; provides a general outline of services and facility changes anticipated 2011-2016; and financial elements, both operating and capital, budgeted for 2011 (continuation budget) and projected for 2011-2016.  Once finalized, Pierce Transit will use the TDP to guide specific development of upcoming service designs, business strategies and budget considerations.
