Kids in the Halls

Fan Zone Express: Getting You There is Our Goal

It's the Summer of Soccer, and Pierce Transit is kicking it off with special event service. The Fan Zone Express is a circulator providing free rides to our local Fan Zone hosted by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We’ll hear from some fans using the service, and from Pierce Transit staff who worked for months on coordination, planning and logistics.

Kids in the Halls

Each April, Pierce Transit employees participate in Take Your Child to Work Day. This event gives children and teens the opportunity to see what "work life" is like for their family member, and perhaps consider a career in transit themselves. The activities and interactions make a positive impact on kids and adults alike, as you will hear in this episode.

Pierce Transit has HART

On this episode of South Sound Connected, we talk with Michelle and Karli about the services offered by the Hardship Assistance Response Team (HART [https://piercetransit.org/hart/]). This program, in partnership with Pierce County and MultiCare, provides assistance to those in crisis at or near Pierce Transit facilities in our service area.

Women In Trades at Pierce Transit

To help kick off Women's History Month, in this episode of South Sound Connected we talk with four women who work in the trades at Pierce Transit –  Phoebe, Aubrey, Sharon and Riley – about thriving in a male-dominated workforce.

Lost & Found

In this episode, we talk with Julie, Lead CSR for Fixed Route, who has firsthand knowledge of Pierce Transit’s lost and found process. Then we head over to 2nd Cycle Community Cycle Center to speak with Leon, Executive Director and Lincoln, Recycle and Reuse Center Manager, about how unclaimed bikes start a new life in our community (and beyond).
