Pierce Transit Weather ALERT

Inclement weather is in the forecast, so it's time to get ready. All the information needed to use Pierce Transit services when the weather is bad, including snow maps and detour information, can be found by visiting www.piercetransit.org. Pierce Transit will send out alerts if services are moved onto snow detours.

Tips for riding the bus in snow and ice:

• Wait for the bus at the top or bottom of the hill closest to the stop.
• Signal the bus so that the operator has plenty of time to stop.
• Wait until the bus stops and the door opens before approaching the bus.
• Use handrails when getting on and off the bus.
• Wear highly visible and warm clothing.
