Bus Stop Closures Impact Pullman Transit Routes

Pullman Transit has announced several bus stop closures effective between June 1 and July 10, 2026, due to road construction projects. The Gesa Field stop closed immediately, while Cougar Way, Northwood Drive, and Terre View Drive closures began on June 29, June 15, and June 1, respectively. Temporary stops are provided for affected routes, such as Flag Lane for Northside Commons and Cougar Ridge for Aspen Village. The Bishop Boulevard routes resumed regular service on July 10, 2026, with the Walmart and Safeway stops returning to normal operation. The Palouse Regional Transportation Planning Organization is accepting public comments on their draft 2026 Human Services Transportation Plan until June 30, 2026. Pullman Transit also introduced an app update allowing riders to tap on bus stops for arrival predictions. Residents should adjust their routes using the provided detours, as some closures have undetermined end dates. The Farmers Market will close Olsen and Kamiaken Streets every Saturday from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. until October 31, 2026, affecting the Wheat Route.
