Intercity Transit's frontline employees work hard to ensure we can provide vital transportation services to the community. Our drivers, maintenance, and facilities staff go above and beyond to keep us moving. We want to give a big thank you to our frontline employees today and every day for all they do. Their service and dedication is impressive and we appreciate each and every one of them!
Celebrating your driver is easy to do as you see them when you’re riding. Please keep in mind those behind the scenes who ensure your journey is a pleasant one. Our maintenance staff make sure our buses are clean, well-maintained, and fueled, while our facilities team works tirelessly to keep our transit centers and all one thousand bus stops in our system clean. Without these integral employees, our system wouldn’t run the way it does.
Transit Heroes
Our bus drivers work diligently to manage schedules, give directions, answer questions, and so much more. They take pride in customer service and getting you safely to your destinations. They reliably maneuver buses through unpredictable traffic and inclement weather.
Our operations supervisors support our drivers and provide additional assistance to passengers when needed. They drive roads to help determine conditions and pick up stranded passengers while also performing roadside mechanical assistance if necessary to keep the buses moving and your trip on time.
Our maintenance mechanics, detailers, fuelers, and service workers work 24/7 to make sure our buses operate safely. They work hard to resolve issues as quickly as possible to ensure we can put service on the street as promised.
In addition, our buses are cleaned inside and out every day to make sure your ride is as comfortable as possible.
Our facilities staff are out in the system seven days a week fixing and maintaining bus stops, cleaning stops, pressure washing pavement (look for their artistic designs), removing trash, and ensuring solar lights are working. They also install our schedules at bus stops throughout the system.
Help Us Celebrate!
Help us celebrate Intercity Transit's hard-working frontline transit employees on Tuesday, March 18 on National Transit Employee Appreciation Day.
Celebrating your driver can be as simple as a wave when you board the bus and a "thank you" when you leave. If you’d like to share gratitude for our maintenance and facilities employees, please stop by Customer Service in the Olympia Transit Center or look for opportunities starting Monday, March 18 to share your appreciation on Facebook, facebook.com/intercitytransit, or Twitter, twitter.com@intercitytransi, using #TransitEmployeeAppreciationDay. We will share appreciative comments with appropriate staff.
