How to Ride a Transit Bus
  1. Look for your neighborhood bus stop. There are stops in every neighborhood, downtown and on WSU campus. The information on the bus stop sign will let you know when your bus should arrive and what direction it will be traveling. We encourage all riders to be at their bus stop 5 minutes before the scheduled arrival. Riders can also scan the QR code on the bus stop sign to locate their bus in real time.
  2. Find your route and Bus Stop. You can go to pullmantransit.com and click on the Routes and Schedule for individual maps and time schedules and to view bus stop locations. You can also download the mobile app from the main page or our website to view your bus live and much more.
  3. Make sure we don't pass you by. Every now and then a rider gets left behind because the driver did not see them. Here are some tips to help you get noticed.
    a) Stand visibly at the stop.
    b) Face the bus and nod your head "yes" or wave to the driver.
    c) Step forward when the bus is about 1/2 block away.
    d) If you are in a shelter, walk to the stop as the bus approaches.
  4. Respect the rights of other riders. We encourage everyone to ride the bus but everyone must respect the rights of other customers. See below for a list of conduct rules and guidelines for riding the bus.

Our core Community Routes are the Silver, Blue, Paradise, Coffee, Loop, and Coffee, while Express Routes provide service between the WSU campus and the student housing areas located north of campus.

Title VI Statement
Title VI, 42 U.S.C 2000d et seq, was enacted as part of the landmark Civil rights Act of 1964. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. As President John F. Kennedy said in 1963,

“Simple justice requires that public funds to which all taxpayers of all races {colors, and national origins} contribute, not be spent in any fashion which encourages, entrenches, subsidizes, or results in racial {color or national origin} discrimination."

If a recipient of federal assistance is found to have discriminated and the assistance should either initiate fund termination proceedings or refer the matter to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal action. Aggrieved individuals may file administration complaints with the federal agency that provides funds to a recipient, or the individuals may file suit for appropriate relief in federal court. Title VI itself prohibits intentional discrimination. However, most funding agencies have regulations implementing Title VI that prohibit recipient practices that have the effect of discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

To file a Title VI complaint, please fill out and return the following form: Title VI Complaint Form.pdf
