Under Construction

In 2018-2019, Pierce Transit is making repairs and renovations at several Park & Ride and Transit Center locations, including:

Tacoma Dome Station - Renovations include improved lighting, concrete repairs, fresh paint, and general clean-up at this transit hub. While construction is underway, approximately 200 parking spots at a time are blocked off, on a rotating basis. For ideas about alternatives to parking at TDS, and project updates visit PierceTransit.org/ TDSgarage.

SR 512 Park & Ride - Bus shelters have been repaired and light fixtures have been upgraded to brighter LED lights. Surface work is underway throughout the Park & Ride and Transit Center. The Park & Ride and Transit Center are closed during construction and are scheduled to re-open in early October 2018. Transit operations and parking have been relocated temporarily during the closure to a lot adjacent to Discount World along Pacific Highway. Bus routes have been detoured until the Park & Ride and Transit Center re-open. Details are at PierceTransit.org/SR512

Tacoma Community College Transit Center -Shelters are being repaired and LED lighting upgrades are underway. Surface work is taking place throughout the Transit Center and Park & Ride lot. During the construction period transit operations are relocated to a loading zone on the southbound side of S Mildred Street just south of S 12th Street. The Park & Ride is scheduled to re-open in early October 2018.

Lakewood Transit Center - Renovations include improved lighting, concrete repairs, fresh paint, and general clean-up. While construction is underway, passenger zones will be temporarily relocated within the facility’s footprint. Work is anticipated to start in late summer 2018 with construction taking place over a three-month period during the fall of 2018.

At all locations, please be cautious and stay out of the construction zones. Depending on the location, route detours may be necessary. Watch for posted Rider Alert signs, and updates.

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.
