One of my loyal Compass & Clock readers wanted information about the ACCESS transportation system. So this article / information is for her, and all those out there that need to use this service.
In addition to Access, here's another transportation company in Kitsap County you should look into, Gather Together Grow Together (G2G2). They are a non-profit organization located in Bremerton.

Visitors
A visitor is anyone with a disability who does not reside in the jurisdiction(s) served by Kitsap Transit. Any visitors presenting documentation that they are ADA paratransit eligible in their home jurisdiction will be treated by Kitsap Transit as eligible, and no further documentation may be required before paratransit service is provided.
Visitors who have a verifiable, limiting disability are also entitled to comparable service within Kitsap County. ACCESS service can begin once verification has been made. An application may be required if service is required more than 21 days in a calendar year.
Kitsap Transit will make every effort to process requests for service from visitors the same business day but no later than the next business day.
