The purpose of our Strategic Plan is to define levels and types of public transportation services offered to the citizens of Thurston County over the next six years and to determine the amount and sources of the revenue to finance the services. The 2022-2027 Strategic Plan represents the outcome of a multi-year short-and long-range planning process. The planning process included a significant public engagement process which not only helped formulate the outcomes of the long-range plan, which was adopted in November 2018, but also culminated in the success of Intercity Transit Proposition 1 which was approved by voters on November 6, 2018. Goals and policy positions, capital program and services have been outlined for the six-year period.
