When Extreme Weather Hits...Your Kitsap Transit routed bus will likely not run its normal route when conditions become unsafe for our operations. Emergency Service is designed to connect Kitsap’s communities using arterial roads. Buses serve major roadways between Bainbridge, Poulsbo, Silverdale, Bremerton and Port Orchard. Local and fast ferries will still operate as long as sailing conditions are deemed acceptable. See the maps below to learn which arterials Kitsap Transit buses will operate on when we are running Emergency Service. Stay InformedAs driving conditions improve, service will be upgraded gradually -- from Emergency service to Modified or Normal. These service upgrades will occur at specific time intervals in order to give our customers time to plan accordingly. The time intervals we plan to make changes to service are 9 AM, Noon, 3 PM and 7 PM on weekdays and 10 AM and 3 PM on Saturdays. Check the current status on the Snow & Extreme weather page.

Customers are strongly encouraged to subscribe to Kitsap Transit's rider alerts so they can receive push notifications. If you have questions, you can call 1.800.501.7433. |
