Following the February 21, 2020 Downtown on the Go Friday Forum on Moving Into the Future, we are talking about the transit options available in Tacoma right now—for everyone, but especially for individuals with mobility impairments and disabilities.
Pierce Transit offers a SHUTTLE flexible bus service for individuals with disabilities. It will come to pick you up (as long as you are within their service area) and drop you off for shopping, meetings, social events, doctors’ appointments, whatever you may need. You can find out more about the service in this episode, and you will also learn about the Bus Rapid Transit line going onto Pacific Avenue, the PT Runner coming this summer to Ruston Way, moving to an electric bus fleet, and other ideas that Pierce Transit has been working on and plans for the future.
It’s an ideal time to visit PierceTransit.org so that you can participate in their long range planning activities and help them develop the transportation options we need. And check out their phone app!
Alex Mather and Cherry Thomas of Pierce Transit have all the transit info, and you will definitely learn something you didn’t know before.
Note that you can listen to the Friday Forum too. Look for it where you find your podcasts or on our Crossing Division website.
