The Worker/Driver Program offers yet another option for commuting.  This unique program originated during WWII, with the need to transport thousands of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) employees to and from work. This was a time of fuel rationing and the use of buses proved to be most efficient. Kitsap Transit inherited 12 routes when it took over the transportation needs of Kitsap County residents. Today, the current program operates 26 routes to PSNS and Naval Station Bremerton.  These buses are driven by full time employees (“worker”) of the military facilities and are also part time employees of Kitsap Transit (“drivers”).

Our ridership today is made up of both civilian and military personnel.  We design and alter Worker/Driver routes to meet the needs of our passengers whenever feasible.  Our current service area extends from Port Gamble to Burley in Kitsap County. (See the area map).
