Rides free starting on Saturday, August 23, 2025 through end of service Thursday, August 28; may be extended depending on weather
The Puget Sound is expecting high temperatures over the next few days. To help those who need access to transportation to get out of the heat, Pierce Transit is partnering with the Pierce County Department of Emergency Management to provide free bus or SHUTTLE rides (for registered SHUTTLE customers) to cooling centers and shelters.
The free rides are in effect on Saturday, August 23 through the end of service on Thursday, August 28, but may be extended if hot weather continues or until the cooling shelters are closed.
The free round trips are available throughout the day and evening for passengers who tell the driver they are traveling to or from a cooling center or shelter.
For help planning a trip, visit Pierce Transit’s Trip Planner at PierceTransit.org or call the agency’s Customer Service Call 253.581.8000 option 2, then option 2 again, Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
