Rider Alert: Limiting the Spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Rider Alert: Return to regular service schedule- Nov. 2, 2020

October 27th, 2020 by mnash

On March 30, 2020 with the outbreak of the Coronavirus Jefferson Transit began operating at a reduced level of service to protect public health. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many things but one thing that remains the same is our commitment to safely get you where you need to go.  We have taken steps to protect our employees and riders and anticipate resuming full service on Monday, November 2, 2020.

Routes will operate Monday through Saturday using the Jefferson Transit Bus Schedule dated May 20, 2019 with the following exceptions.

  • Until further notice the #1 Brinnon route will end at the Black Point Turnaround; service to Triton Cove will resume when connecting service to Mason Transit becomes available.
  • Jefferson Transit’s Olympic Connection will remain on reduced service. Please continue to monitor our website for updates.

While returning to full service increases the number of trips per day please be aware boarding the bus will be on a first come first served basis; space limitations for soc

ial distancing limit the number of riders per bus and may require you wait for the next available bus or find alternate transportation.  We understand this is not an ideal situation, regrettably Jefferson Transit does not have the staffing and fleet resources to send vehicles to pick up overflow passengers.

  • Fare Free service remains in effect until further notice.  
  •  Haines Place and Four Corners customer service offices will remain closed.

As we work together through this difficult time we rely on our riders to protect themselves and one another. We ask that riders continue to follow Public Health masking directives, follow social distancing guidelines and use transit for essential travel activities allowed under Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Thank you for doing your part to support transit as an essential service.

Rider Alert: Limiting the Spread of Coronavirus

March 10th, 2020 by Lisa Bradley

Limiting the Spread of Coronavirus

Jefferson Transit is taking steps to limit the spread of coronavirus through its operations. Jefferson Transit fixed-route vehicles are disinfected nightly with a decontaminate fogger.  All other passenger vehicles are disinfected by hand as they return from service with an antiviral solution that kills coronavirus.  For more information on the disinfectant used visit: https://benefect.com/ca/products/decon-30/

Jefferson Transit has supplied its front-line staff with gloves and sanitizer wipes to reduce their risk of infection from germs. Hand sanitizer stations are available to passengers in the Fixed Route and Dial-A-Ride buses. Passengers are required to wear a mask at all times while aboard JTA vehicles.

Jefferson Transit has installed Plexiglas barriers to reduce the contact between the Bus operators and riders. Passengers who do not require the use of a lift or ramp should use the rear door on the fixed route vehicles to board or debark from the bus.

Posters on How to Stop the Spread of Germs are posted on buses.

Jefferson Transit continues to monitor the alerts from the Jefferson County Public Health and encourages our customers to follow the directions of public health officials.

Please Yield to buses re-entering traffic

August 17th, 2018 by Lisa Bradley

Please Yield to buses reentering traffic.

There are more people each day choosing to use public transportation to get to and from their destinations. The Transit bus makes several stops along the route to pick up and drop off passengers. This can make it difficult to keep things moving and on schedule. If you see a Transit bus signaling to re-enter traffic please yield to allow them to merge safely back into traffic. By doing this it will help to get passengers to their destination safely and on time. The drivers and passengers thank you for courtesy.

RCW 46.61.220: You must yield to any transit vehicle (bus) that has signaled and is pulling back onto the roadway.
