Ride the Bus with Rick Talbert @ Downtown Tacoma | Tacoma | Washington | United States

There is no better place than the bus to discuss the future of our regional transit agencies – and no better representative than a board chair. Pierce County Councilmember and Pierce Transit Board Chair Rick Talbert will be riding the bus with Downtown On the Go.

Join Rick and DOTG as they ride Pierce Transit Rte. 41 from 10th and Commerce at noon. The hour-long bus ride will be a chance to ask questions of the County Councilmember and have a discussion about issues important to Pierce County and Tacoma, including Pierce Transit’s long range plan, Destination 2040.

Councilmember Talbert chairs the Council’s Community Development Committee and serves on the Economic and Infrastructure Development Committee. Rick also represents the County Council on the Puget Sound Regional Council Growth Management Policy Board and the Transportation 2040 planning group.

As always, this event is free and attendees will receive an ORCA pass loaded with $12. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP to hallyb@downtownonthego.org as space is limited on the bus.

This event is part of Downtown On the Go’s Ride the Bus Series. Each year we invite elected officials and community leaders to ride the bus. These events give citizens the chance to ask questions and hear from decision makers while riding on our regional transportation system. 2016 Ride the Bus events will feature Rick Talbert, Julie Anderson, and Tacoma Green Drinks.

Tenth and Commerce is accessible by most Pierce Transit Routes and by Sound Transit’s Tacoma Link. There is bike parking in the Pierce Transit Plaza on Broadway and across 11th.
