Pierce Transit Bus Schedule:

On June 01, 2008, Pierce Transit is initiating a new schedule for Bus Route 212 that will better accommodate passenger connections between the Pierce County ferry system and Pierce Transit. The new schedule will provide 30-minute service at the bus stop near the Steilacoom Ferry Dock (Union Avenue & Commercial Street) during the morning and evening commutes.

Pierce Transit will delay the Route 212 departure from the ferry dock in the morning so that the bus does not leave the dock before the ferry arrives. With the newly added 30-minute service, a ferry passenger will have only a 30 minute maximum wait time compared to the previous one hour wait time.

In the early evening, the bus schedule has been adjusted so that bus arrival at the ferry dock is 10 to 20 minutes before the ferry departs.

Pierce Transit Schedule.

This new schedule was the result of a cooperative effort between Pierce Transit, Pierce County, the Anderson Island Citizens Advisory Board (AICAB), and the Anderson Island Community Planning Board (CPB).

The Temporary Schedule that will be in effect beginning Wednesday, September 24, 2008, shows a counter clockwise triangle schedule. Please view triangle map.

This schedule has been adapted to allow the M/V Rhododendron, which will service Steilacoom, Anderson, and Ketron Islands during the September Christine Anderson Dry Dock period, to maintain the Temporary Schedule by allowing less vessel maneuvering which equates to faster run times.
