REVOCATION OF PERMIT:  Anyone who violates these requirements may be asked by a Pierce Transit to cease the unauthorized activity. Anyone who fails to promptly cease such activity may be immediately ejected from the facility, may have their right to be on Pierce Transit premises revoked, and may be subjected to fines and/or civil or criminal charges under applicable laws. Failure to use the facility as requested and approved on specific dates and times shall result in the immediate termination of the agreement. It is further understood and agreed by the applicant that its right to conduct food truck activities at PT headquarters is permissive and entirely at the discretion of PT and may be revoked or cancelled at any time with or without notice or cause. 

LEGAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS : The applicant hereby agrees to abide by the laws of the State of Washington, Pierce County, the City of Lakewood, and the PT regulations.

DAMAGE: Applicants may be held responsible for expenses incurred by Pierce Transit arising from the use of the facility. Trucks need to haul their own garbage out - food packaging, cardboard boxes, etc.; Pierce Transit reserves the right to withhold all or part of the vendor’s damage deposit for costs incurred due to failure to remove debris.

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.
