Intercity Transit is governed by an eight-member Board of Directors, the Intercity Transit Authority. The Authority consists of five elected officials representing the Thurston County Board of Commissioners, the Cities of Lacey, Tumwater, Olympia, and Yelm. Three members of the Authority are Citizen Representatives appointed by the Board.
Board members represent, and must live in, the public transportation benefit area. A Citizen Representative's term is three years, and the elected officials serve at the pleasure of their respective mayors and Commissioners.
The Authority sets policy and direction for the agency.
Authority Meetings
The Authority meets twice a month, generally on the first and third Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. Special meetings are held from time to time as needed.
Meetings and work sessions are open to the public, and citizens are encouraged to attend. Meetings and work sessions are held at the Intercity Transit Business office located at 526 Pattison Street SE, Olympia, WA, 98501.
For information about the Business Office accessibility for people with disabilities, see our contacts page.
Authority meetings are held in our boardroom on the first Wednesday of the month. Work sessions are also held in the boardroom on the third Wednesday of the month unless otherwise noted. A public comment period is scheduled for each meeting shortly after the 5:30 p.m. start. Each speaker is allowed three minutes to speak.
Citizens who wish to speak to the Authority at one of these meetings must sign in just prior to the start of the meeting. The Authority asks that you silence your cell phone or pager during the meeting to eliminate disruptions.
For questions regarding the public comment period, contact Rhodetta Seward, 360-705-5856 or e-mail rseward@intercitytransit.com. View the meeting calendar for agendas and meeting highlights.
