Intercity Transit is a public transportation service organized as a municipal corporation. It serves Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and Yelm, Washington: an area of approximately 94 square miles (240 km2). It operates 24 bus routes, the Dial-A-Lift door-to-door service for people with disabilities, a vanpool program, and specialized van programs, and it is active in community partnerships.
Intercity Transit maintains a free shuttle route called Dash, which provides service between the Capitol Campus and downtown Olympia via Capitol Way.[4] Dash runs every fifteen minutes on weekdays, and every ten minutes on weekends, and is close to several public parking lots.
In 2009, the American Public Transportation Association gave Intercity Transit the America's Best Public Transportation System award for the mid-size category.[5]
Fleet
Intercity Transit operates 68 coaches, 33 Dial-A-Lift vans, and 221 vanpool vans.[6] Intercity Transit purchased six new hybrid electric buses in 2010,[7] and is one of the first transportation systems in the country to use an all-biodiesel fleet.
Sixty-six of Intercity Transit's coaches are Gillig Low Floor buses, while two are Gillig Phantom buses.[8] They are equipped with:
- Kneeling equipment to lower the door opening to curb level for easy boarding.
- Automatic stop announcement equipment, which announces the next stop on the bus public address system and an electronic sign on the ceiling at the front of the bus.
- Surveillance cameras
- Two wheelchair parking spaces
- Cushioned seats with purple, blue, and grey fabric.
- Destination signs on the front of the bus exterior, which display the route number and stop on an LED panel or a flip-disc display.
