2026 Spanaway Walk Audit

Tacoma On the Go partnered with Pierce Transit and the Nondrivers Alliance to conduct a walk audit around the Pierce Transit Center in Spanaway, along SR-7, an area where many residents rely on transit. What we documented was deeply concerning.

Despite the presence of a brand-new transit center, basic pedestrian infrastructure is missing. There are no sidewalks, and the nearest safe crossing is a quarter mile away, forcing many non-drivers of being exposed to fast-moving traffic. This walk audit made one thing painfully clear: access to transit does not equal access to safety. If we are serious about mobility, equity, and dignity, we have to design streets for the people who rely on them, not just the cars passing through.
