New! Virtual Transit Education for students!

Pierce Transit's Virtual Transit Education program is comprehensive and provides youth the opportunity to:

- Identify the bus stop and route(s) closest to their home or school
The program is student-paced and is perfect for youth ages 12-18. Participants need only internet connection and a computer to complete the program.
