Public Transportation and Bus Service

Jefferson Transit Authority - the area's public transportation provider. Fixed route bus service can deliver you to within a few blocks of most places in Port Townsend. For service to outlying communities, routes run frequently to Irondale, Port Hadlock and Chimacum. Other routes connect with service east to Seattle, south to Olympia and west to the Pacific Ocean shore.

For route, schedule and service information, please call (360) 385-4777 locally, 800-371-0497 for out-of-state/West End or visit the Jefferson Transit web site. Door to door Dial a Ride services are available for people with disabilities.

Visitors to Port Townsend are asked to remember that Port Townsend predates the automobile, making auto parking limited. Visitors are encouraged to use the Haines Place Park & Ride (find the Park & Ride by turning between McDonalds Restaurant & the Safeway Store - see map here). To keep your car parked longer than 24 hours, just call Jefferson Transit and tell the the make, license number and give them a phone contact: (360) 385-4777 or Toll Free (800) 371-0497.

Transit buses depart and return to the Park & Ride frequently. The drivers are friendly, the fares are low, public transit is the way to go!
