Pierce Transit

Hey Gig Harbor! Starting Monday, July 20 we will have more availability on the Pierce Transit Runner. The perfect time to request a ride! piercetransit.org/runner/

Heading out to watch the big final on Sunday? Try using a 1-day pass on your ORCA card to save some cash! 👀 For $6, you can take unlimited rides on regional buses and light rail. That means if you plan to ride transit more than two times in one day, you could be saving money. All you have to do is load the pass onto your ORCA card before you ride. You can easily add a pass to your card at myORCA.com, the myORCA app, or at a ticket vending machine. Day passes activate automatically the next time you tap your card, so be sure to only add it when you plan to use it! #JoinThePod
