Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I get alerts for my trip?
A: Sign up for alerts using the form above! When you subscribe to alerts, you will receive text or email alerts for your selected routes, bus stops, and the days and times you ride. Kitsap Transit recommends customizing these preferences to receive alerts for the specific stops and times relevant to you. Riders who do not sign up for stop-level alerts will not be notified when a bus stop is closed or the route is on a detour. If the status of an existing alert changes for one of your routes, you'll get an update with the latest information. To view alerts on our website, visit kitsaptransit.com/alerts.
