Our vision is to be a leading transit system in the country, recognized by our peers, community and customers for our well-trained, highly motivated, customer-focused, community-minded employees committed to providing inclusive and exceptional transit services that enhance the quality of life for all in Thurston County.

Benefits

Public transportation is part of our transportation network and plays an important role in the county’s economic health by:

• Providing transportation to jobs, schools, and community activities.
• Reducing congestion on local roads allowing private automobiles and freight to travel more
  efficiently.
• Helping seniors and people with disabilities remain independent.
• Providing both commuter and lifeline services for community members.
• Protecting the environment by reducing the number of vehicles on the road.

Village Vans Transportation Service

Village Vans provides free transportation to help passengers gain and maintain employment. This service helps passengers overcome transportation barriers for up to one year. Barriers include but are not limited to: 

• A bus ride that takes one hour or more.
• Walking ¾ mile or more between the bus stop and the destination.
• No sidewalk access or alternative paths between the bus stop and location.

Qualifying transportation locations include: 

• Jobsites
• Job interviews and training sites.
• WorkSource and other employment services.
• Local colleges, universities, technical, and alternative schools.
• Childcare Centers*
  *Transportation is provided to childcare centers on the way to and from work, or related activities. Car seats are provided for children under 12. 

After a year, passengers change to using other modes of transportation, which could be bicycling, riding the bus, Vanpool, or driving a personal vehicle.

Village Vans Volunteer Driver Program

Transportation is a primary barrier for low-income individuals and parents to gain and maintain employment. Village Vans helps passengers overcome a transportation barrier for up to one year. Volunteer drivers help individuals that are low-income to gain economic independence. 

Volunteers receive professional defensive driving training and recognition for their service. Volunteer hours are flexible; most service is needed between 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., to help passengers get to work and school.   

We recruit volunteers from the community and employment support programs, including WorkFirst Community Jobs, and local colleges like The Evergreen State College and South Puget Sound Community College. 

Volunteers seeking employment receive job search services, such as assistance with application paperwork and interview coaching. Volunteers can learn more about Intercity Transit and employment opportunities as they become available. Although participation in the program is not a guarantee of employment, Village Vans volunteers have found this program to be a successful path to finding employment with Intercity Transit or other employers in the region.

Intercity Transit’s Village Vans program provides free transportation for work-related activities to qualified job seekers in Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater’s greater urban areas. Village Vans solicits volunteers to provide the service. This internship role provides staff and volunteer assistance and a variety of administrative duties in support of the Village Vans program.

The primary goal of Triceratops Tech is to facilitate socially valuable programs that need technical work done. Examples include training, website development or support, application onboarding or development, or any other needs that Triceratops has the means to provide. An important element of this work is that it must be available at low or no cost to client programs. To realize this goal, Triceratops seeks funding through grants and private donations and keeps costs low by leveraging skilled volunteer resources in addition to dedicated employee hours. Triceratops seeks out and defines consulting, teaching and development tasks in a way that professional and amateur engineers can pick up and work on under the management of Triceratops project leaders. With this model, we can facilitate mentorship between established professionals and students while providing opportunities for students to take on small, supervised, but legitimate technology work, such as simple webpage layout work or low-level computer skills training, while experienced engineers seeking to make a positive impact can advise on consulting and take on more complex development work without having to seek out volunteer opportunities on their own.
