Pierce Transit Shuttle

"SHUTTLE is a shared-ride service for people who, because of their disability, are unable to ride a regular Pierce Transit bus.

SHUTTLE provides door-to-door service, or, in some instances, transportation to Transit Centers to connect with regular bus service. SHUTTLE operates oversized vans, all of which are wheelchair accessible. Current SHUTTLE fare is 75¢.
