Intercity Transit Seeks Public Comment on 2026-2030
Capital Improvement Program
Olympia, WA – Intercity Transit invites the public to comment on capital projects identified in the annual update of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the period 2026-2030. The CIP brings together capital projects identified in the Transportation Development Plan (TDP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to coordinate them with the agency’s operating budget.
The public comment period runs through May 21, 2025, with a public hearing scheduled for May 21, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. The public can attend the hearing in person at Intercity Transit’s administrative office located at 510 Pattison Street SE in Olympia, by telephone or Teams video conference.
In addition to providing comment at the May 21, 2025, public hearing, the public may also submit comments by 12 p.m. on May 21, 2025 by:
- Mail: P.O. Box 659, Olympia, WA 98507 – CIP Public Hearing
- Email: finance@intercitytransit.com
- Phone: 360-705-5882
More details about how to provide comment at the public hearing will be posted on Intercity Transit’s website at intercitytransit.com.
The draft CIP must be fiscally constrained and maintain the purpose of keeping all assets at a state of good repair to protect Intercity Transit’s capital investments and minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. Five-year forecasts also help mitigate challenges of applying a one-year budget to multi-year projects. Using this methodology helps with long-range financial forecasting.
The draft 2026-2029 TIP is available on Intercity Transit’s website at intercitytransit.com/sites/default/files/2025-04/DRAFT-2026-2030-CapitalImprovementPlan.pdf or by emailing finance@intercitytransit.com.
