Pierce Transit provides free Wi-Fi for students

Pierce Transit is collaborating with Pierce County Emergency Management and local school districts to provide a bus in two locations that will each become its own Wifi hotspot. Students and their caregivers will park near the bus and connect to the bus’s Wi-Fi to interact with teachers, conduct assignment research, upload or download assignments or conduct other types of schoolwork. Students will not enter the bus, and the agency will not provide student supervision. Those accessing the network must also observe physical distancing guidelines. Pierce Transit buses have a Wi-Fi range of approximately 100 feet.
