How To Get a Ride

BusThe Pierce County Coordinated Transportation Coalition (PCCTC) works to increase the transportation services available to people who can not transport themselves due to age, illness, disability or income. Our work is to build a coordinated  transportation system that allows people to remain healthy and active and involved in the community.

There are many transportation choices in Pierce County to help people move between home and work or school, medical or social services appointments, shopping and recreation or social activities.
