The Pierce Transit Board of Commissioners passed a resolution Jan. 14 to implement service reductions on Sept. 29.
The 34 percent cut in service is due the defeat of Proposition 1 in November.
Pierce Transit currently operates 417,000 annual service hours. The revised service plan, with the September implementation, will reduce annual service hours to about 275,000.
The plan will be made available for riders and the public to review on the agency website. Pierce Transit will distribute information through print materials, open houses and presentations. A public hearing will be scheduled for May.
Elements of the reduction plan include the elimination of Saturday, Sunday and holiday service and the route 62 in northeast Tacoma. Primary impacts to weekday service include reductions in service past 7 p.m. and mid-day service, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.).
