Intercity Transit "Dash" Bus 951 running in the Lakefair parade

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 77 coaches, 33 Dial-A-Lift vans, and 221 vanpool vans.^[6] Intercity Transit purchased six new hybrid electric buses in 2010,^[7] 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 ^[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.

One or two wheelchair parking spaces
Cushioned seats with purple, blue, and grey fabric.
