Update (6/30/2021): This program is not active at this time.

We’re proud to announce a new partnership between Pierce College Puyallup, Pierce Transit and Lyft, which allows students to request a free, grant-funded ride home in the evenings after transit services have ended, to select locations near campus.

Students who live within the approximate eight-mile zone from Pierce College Puyallup can request a ride through Lyft between 8-10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, from the college’s existing bus stop to their home. Students who live outside the designated zone can request a ride to a transit center.

To see if you live within the Lyft zone, enter your address on the Pierce Transit website.

Students can download the Lyft app on their smartphones, create an account and enter promo code 18RAIDERS when requesting the free ride home. For students who do not have a smartphone, or for students who are in need of a wheelchair accessible vehicle, Lyft rides will be available by calling 253-581-8032 between 6 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. and a Pierce Transit customer service representative will arrange their trip.
