The Strategic Plan defines levels and types of public transportation services offered to the citizens of Thurston County over the next six years and determines the amount and sources of the revenue to finance the services. The 2021-2026 Strategic Plan represents the outcome of a multi-year short-and long-range planning process, which included a significant public engagement process, and was adopted in November 2018 and approval of the November 6, 2018, vote on Intercity Transit Proposition 1. Goals and policy positions, capital program and services have been outlined for the six-year period.
