Sunday Bus Service in Port Orchard, Silverdale and Poulsbo Starts in June

Effective Sunday, June 16

Starting on Sunday, June 16, Kitsap Transit will begin Phase 2 of its Sunday Service plan, which adds Sunday bus service in Port Orchard, Silverdale and Poulsbo.

Last month, Kitsap Transit announced that the start of Phase 2 would begin March 10. The agency was forced to pause the rollout due to uncertainty around a ballot measure that would repeal the state Climate Commitment Act. After evaluating the potential impacts of the initiative, we will move forward with Phase 2 on June 16, a week after our regularly scheduled service change.

Phase 2 will start with two main "trunk" routes: Route 8–Bethel, which will operate in South Kitsap every half-hour from 8:00 AM to 4:25 PM; and Route 332–Poulsbo/Myhre, which will operate between Poulsbo and Silverdale every hour from 8:30 AM to 4:25 PM.

Kitsap Transit will also add Sunday On-Demand service between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM in Silverdale, Port Orchard and Poulsbo.

• Passengers can schedule an on-demand ride using the Ride Pingo app anywhere within the service area (see map online at kitsaptransit.com/Sunday), or call 1-844-475-7433 to schedule a ride. Rides can be booked up to two hours in advance on Sundays.
• On-Demand buses will also make a few scheduled stops in each service area. Visit kitsaptransit.com/Sunday for a full list of scheduled trips.

ACCESS service will be available within 3/4 of a mile of our fixed routes during the same hours. The Port Orchard-Bremerton ferry operates from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM on Sundays.

Kitsap Transit will issue an update on Bainbridge Island Sunday service when we have more information.
