Over the next twenty years, Pierce County will continue to grow, which means even more people travelling within the county and across the region by 2045. Pierce Transit must adapt and grow in tandem, while continuing to provide safe, reliable, innovative, and useful connections for residents and visitors in Pierce County. The all-new Destination 2045 Long Range Plan (LRP) builds on the foundation set with previously adopted plans, such as Destination 2040 (of 2016) and its minor update in 2020. The LRP will provide a blueprint for growth over the next 20 years in high-capacity transit and fixed route service options if additional operating funding were to become available. The document will include an analysis of the additional elements to support service growth, such as increases in buses (focusing on zero emission vehicles, depending on grant funding), employees, and new Maintenance & Operations facilities. In addition, this LRP will rely on robust financial forecasts to support the growth and expansion scenarios.
