What is the JBLM Runner?
The JBLM Runner is an innovative on-demand stop to stop service specific to military personnel, their families as well as employees needing transportation services to and from the Joint Base Lewis-McChord military base. Riders must show a valid military ID to board one of the eight designated and convenient bus stops. Riders pay their fare using an ORCA pass or use Transit app, an All Day Pass, or exact cash. Providing these services is a great way to serve our military personnel who sacrifice so much for us daily.
