Intercity Transit encourages public review and comment this month on service changes proposed to take effect October 2011. The proposed changes, intended to address rider need and operational efficiency, impact Route 60, the Dash shuttle, and the Olympia Express service.
Proposed Service Changes
Route 60 (Lilly Road - Panorama City)
Revisions between St. Francis House and Panorama City to allow buses to stay on schedule.
Dash Shuttle (Olympia Farmers Market - Capitol Campus)
Possible revisions to service hours to match ridership demand.
Possible addition of up to three trips and schedule adjustments to fill service gaps due
to Pierce Transit eliminating their Routes 601 and 602.
