Kitsap Transit is offering rides for the public to and from verified vaccine appointments. These rides will be via their ACCESS buses and for this vaccine ride service they are not doing their standard ACCESS eligibility screening for COVID-19 vaccine appointments. They offer the following guidance:
- Contact your healthcare provider for an appointment date/time/location (including street address) for a COVID-19 vaccine. Find out how early you should be there ahead of your appointment time to wait in line and fill out paperwork.
- Once you have a confirmed vaccine appointment, please call the ACCESS service at (360) 479-7272 or (800) 422-2877 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at least one day before your appointment time to book a reservation for a trip.
