Pierce Transit's Innovative Solutions

Pierce Transit is guided by our Board of Commissioners' strategic direction to focus on seven goals:
  • Service Excellence
  • Economic Development
  • Financial Stability
  • Sustainability
  • Community Engagement
  • Engaged Workforce
  • Innovative Solutions

In order to support and represent our vibrant community, Pierce Transit will partner with a wide variety of organizations, both private and public. Because our customers have diverse needs, we must innovate and work with communities to develop tailored transportation solutions. We will form interagency partnerships in order to creatively address transportation issues within Pierce County for areas that are currently underserved or have no service.

Current Projects




CHARGING AHEAD WITH ALL-ELECTRIC BUSES

Pierce Transit has long been a leader in providing clean, environmentally-friendly public transportation. In the 1980s we were among the first transit agency in the nation to move most of our fleet to running on clean, compressed natural gas (CNG). Today 76 percent of Pierce Transit’s bus fleet runs on CNG, 13 percent are diesel-electric hybrids, 8 percent are diesels and 3 percent run on gas.

Trip Planner Help

Trip Planner Tips - Entering Locations

To create a trip plan you need to enter both a starting location (origin) and an ending location (destination). For information about stops, schedules, or service at a specific location, you only need to enter one location.

The Trip Planner recognizes most street intersections and addresses as well as many landmarks in Pierce, King, and Snohomish Counties. If what you entered is not immediately recognized, the Trip Planner will offer you a list of options. You can choose one of the options, but if your intended location is not there, select the "Revise Original Entries" link to return to the entry page and change the entries you have already made.

Addresses

  • You don't need to type in the city along with the address. The Trip Planner shows the possible city names as options if needed. City names are based on zip codes.
  • You don't need to type in St., Street, Ave., or Avenue, or similar street types. The Trip Planner shows the possible alternatives as options if needed. (Example: type 110 Jones instead of 110 Jones Boulevard.)
  • You don't need to type in the directional designations for streets, but if a direction name is part of a street name, you should include it. (Example: type 1000 Main instead of 1000 S Main. But type 1000 West Viewmont for 1000 West Viewmont Way W.)
  • Some streets and addresses are unknown to the Trip Planner. You may need to enter another nearby location, such as an intersection or a landmark.
  • You should not enter the suite number or apartment number.  Just the house number and street name (Example: type in 401 Broadway instead of 401 Broadway Avenue Suite 800).

Intersections

  • The "&" symbol is the only character used between two street names to show an intersection. (Examples: 1st & B, James & Madison)
  • You don't need to type in the city. The Trip Planner shows the possible city names as options if needed. City names are based on zip codes.
  • You don't need to type in St., Street, Ave., or Avenue, or similar street types. The Trip Planner shows the possible alternatives as options if needed. (Example: type Conifer & Jones instead of Conifer Circle & Jones Boulevard.)
  • You don't need to type in the directional designations for streets, but if a direction name is part of a street name, you should include it. (Example: type 3rd & Main instead of 3rd S & S Main. But type 34th & West Viewmont for 34th W & West Viewmont Way W.)
  • Some streets are unknown to the Trip Planner. You may need to enter another nearby intersection or a landmark.
