About Intercity Transit

Intercity Transit’s Walk N Roll education program increases independence, improves safety and inspires a healthy lifestyle by making walking, biking, rolling and riding public transit more accessible to people of all races, ages, incomes and abilities.

Intercity Transit is a municipal corporation that provides public transportation for people who live and work in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and Yelm, an area of approximately 101 square miles. We operate 18 bus routes, a door-to-door service for people with disabilities, a vanpool program, specialized van programs, and are active in community partnerships.

Mission and Vision

Intercity Transit's mission is to promote transportation choices that support an accessible, sustainable, livable, healthy and prosperous community.

Our vision is to be a leading transit system in the country, recognized by our peers, community and customers for our well-trained, highly motivated, customer-focused, community-minded employees committed to enhancing the quality of life for all in Thurston County.

Benefits

Public transportation is part of our transportation network and plays an important role in the county's economic health by:

• Providing transportation to jobs, schools, and community activities;
• Reducing congestion on local roads allowing private automobiles and freight to travel more
  efficiently;
• Helping seniors and people with disabilities remain independent;
• Providing both commuter and lifeline services for community members; and
• Protecting the environment by reducing the number of vehicles on the road.

Ridership

Demand for public transportation services is strong.  In 2018, we provided roughly 4.5 million rides on fixed-route, Dial-A-Lift, and vanpool services.
