Pierce Transit has launched new resources to help community members learn more about Proposition 1, which will appear on the November 3 General Election ballot. No time to read? Listen to our latest podcast episode.
You can now explore an interactive map of the service improvements included in Proposition 1. Compare your current route with proposed changes, see proposed new routes and seasonal trolleys, and explore how access to destinations like healthcare facilities, parks and schools could improve.
If approved by voters, Proposition 1 would fund:
-
47% more local transit service
- More frequent service, with 86% of routes running more often
- Longer and later service, with 80% of service operating for more hours
-
An 83% increase in weekend service
-
New routes connecting communities across the Pierce Transit service area
-
Fare-free rides for seniors age 65 and older on Pierce Transit buses and SHUTTLE
-
Expanded paratransit service including later hours and new areas
-
Special event service to help people get to and from community events
-
Seasonal trolley service connecting people to popular waterfront destinations
-
Expanded connections to major destinations and future light rail stations
Proposition 1 would be funded by changing Pierce Transit’s local sales tax rate from 0.6% to 0.9% — an increase of 3 cents on a $10 taxable purchase. Learn more at ballot.piercetransit.org.
