We also recognized bus operator Ricardo for his heroic actions taken last month, when he saved a child walking in the road along his route. Thank you, Ricardo, for your awareness and swift response.

At our board meeting earlier this week, we recognized 2 Pierce Transit bus operators for their outsranding achievements. We congratulated Luther as the September driver of the Month. Luther has been with Pierce Transit since 2018, and we thanked him for his amazing service.

Expect slow going on SR 16 WB approaching the Purdy/Key Center exit today. We're out doing some emergency guardrail repairs. The work has to be done ASAP for safety, otherwise we would wait for a time with lower traffic volumes. Real time travel info at wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/M…
