A map of Interstate 5 in Seattle. Marked by red arrows and lines is the full closure of the northbound I-5 mainline between I-90 and Northeast 45th Street in Seattle. Handwritten text on the screen notes the interstate is closed in the northbound directions from July 18th to 21st. Cute animals with WSDOT hard hats occupy various spaces on the screen. Text boxes near them say we're here to soften the blow and is it working?

Destination 2045, Long Range Plan, Pierce Transit

The second draft of Pierce Transit's Long Range Plan is now open for your comments! bit.ly/45yBpuK

The plan features three scenarios: one featuring service that fits with our current budget, and two scenarios that would provide significantly more service, and would require additional funding.

Our mural walk tonight went through a @piercetransit.bsky.social transit center today, talked to a bus driver who asked what we were doing. He thought for a second, then said "well, make sure to tell them all to ride the bus more." Way ahead of you, buddy! Happy Ride Transit Month!
