Intercity Transit
 Intercity Transit is a public transportation agency organized as a municipal corporation in Thurston County, Washington, United States. It serves Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and Yelm and Lakewood: an area of approximately 94 square miles (240 km2). It operates 19 bus routes,[3] the Dial-A-Lift door-to-door service, a vanpool program, and specialized van programs. In FY 2024 the system had an annual ridership of 4,242,904, or about 11,688 daily boardings. Intercity Transit previously maintained a free shuttle route called Dash, which provided service between the Capitol Campus and downtown Olympia via Capitol Way.[4] Dash ran every fifteen minutes on weekdays, every ten minutes on weekends, and was close to several public parking lots. However, this service was retired during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2009, the American Public Transportation Association gave Intercity Transit the America's Best Public Transportation System award for the mid-size category.[5] Intercity Transit began a five-year zero-fare pilot project in January 2020 as part of its service expansion approved in a 2018 ballot measure.[6][7] The agency also launched a zero-fare express bus route connecting Capital Mall to Lacey in September 2019.[8] The pilot was extended to 2028 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which also forced the suspension of the express route and Dash.[9] FleetIntercity Transit operates 77 coaches, 33 Dial-A-Lift vans, and 221 vanpool vans.[10] Intercity Transit purchased six new hybrid electric buses in 2010,[11] and nine new hybrid electric buses in 2014. Intercity Transit is one of the first transportation systems in the country to use an all-biodiesel fleet. All of Intercity Transit's coaches are Gillig Low Floor buses.[12] They are equipped with wheelchair accessibility, kneeling doors, automatic stop announcements, and surveillance cameras. References
