Kitsap Transit encourages riders to take precautions and be prepared:

• If your stop is on a hill, please walk to a stop on flat ground.
• Give yourself plenty of time to get to the bus stop in the snow. Your bus stop may be late during inclement weather, so dress warmly and please be patient.
• The floor of the bus or ferry may be slippery. Please use caution.

We prioritize the safety of our passengers and employees. Thank you for your patience. Stay safe out there!

If we make changes to service, they will occur at 9 AM, Noon, 3 PM and 7 PM on weekdays and 10 AM and 2 PM on weekends. We plan to issue a Rider Alert with information about the next service change about 45 minutes before the next interval. If we are not making changes to service in the next interval, we may not issue a rider alert or update for that interval.
