Over the next 20 years, Pierce County’s population will grow, new technologies will change how and why people travel, and the funding to deliver robust transit service will continue to be a challenge. To address and prepare for all of these changes, Pierce Transit is drafting its Long Range Plan called Destination 2045. The public is invited to give input at various stages of creating, drafting and finalizing the Plan.
On September 14, Pierce Transit kicks off the second phase of public involvement for the Plan with several virtual and in-person opportunities to engage. Members of the public are encouraged to let the agency know about their 20-year vision for transit in Pierce County.
Opportunities are as follows:
- In-person Open House, Saturday, Sept. 14 from 9 a.m. to noon at Campfire Coffee, 1554 Market St #101, Tacoma, WA 98402
- In-person Open House, Monday, Sept. 16 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Pierce Transit’s Training Center, 3720 96th St SW, Lake-wood, WA 98499
