• On Thursday Morning, Feb. 6, Kitsap Transit plans to start service with all routes operating their regular route. If the weather changes and we are unable to operate on normal routes, we will issue an alert.

Kitsap Transit Fast Ferries and Local Foot Ferries will continue to operate normal schedules unless high winds or unsafe conditions at a dock force us to cancel sailings. 

If we make changes to service, they will occur at 9 AM, Noon, 3 PM and 7 PM on weekdays and 10 AM and 2 PM on weekends. We plan to issue a Rider Alert about 45 minutes before each service change. If we are not making changes to service in the next interval, we may not issue a rider alert or update for that interval.

Kitsap Transit encourages riders to take precautions and be prepared:

• If your stop is on a hill, please walk to a stop on flat ground.
• Give yourself plenty of time to get to the bus stop in the snow. Your bus stop may be late during inclement weather, so dress warmly and please be patient.
• The floor of the bus or ferry may be slippery. Please use caution.

We prioritize the safety of our passengers and employees. Thank you for your patience. Stay safe out there!
