Modifications to Runner

• Pierce Transit Runner is an on-demand service that offers connections to transit, typically in areas with limited transit options.
• There are six Runner zones serving Pierce County, providing connections to Ruston and along Ruston Way, the Tideflats, JBLM, in the Spanaway/Parkland/Midland area, Puyallup and in Gig Harbor.
• The service now uses boarding points that make it easier and faster to pick up and drop off customers.
• In some cases, rather than being picked up at a specific address, a customer may be asked to walk a short distance to meet the Runner vehicle, and they may be joined by another customer going in the same direction.
• Customers with limited mobility may call the Runner support number at 253.600.4146 to request to continue to be picked up or dropped off at specific addresses.
• For more information on Runner, including hours and fares, visit PierceTransit.org/Runner. You can download the Pierce Transit Runner app, and also find Runner in the Transit app.
