Ride the Dash, your free downtown bus.

                                           

One of the great, but little known amenities the city of Olympia offers, is the free downtown shuttle service called the Dash. The buses are easily recognized by their cool, colorful designs. The Dash service is quick, easy and free. You simply hop aboard and let it take you to your downtown destination. The shuttle operates weekdays every 12 minutes from 6:45am until 7:15pm. Parking is available at both ends of the shuttle run, at the Olympia Farmers Market and at the Capitol Visitor parking lot at Wheeler Ave. You can park for free for the first two hours and then just pay 50 cents an hour thereafter.

For people working in downtown, leased monthly parking is available at the Capitol Visitor parking lot for only $12.50 a month. From your own designated parking spot it's easy to catch the Dash and be at work in just a few minutes. Monthly leased parking permits are available from Intercity Transit (1-800-287-6348)

That's a great service. I think Washington is more progressive than many areas on that. Saves parking, saves fuel.

Sharon,

Olympia and the State of Washington is better in environmental issues than most places I've lived in the US, but they're ages behind Europe. I don't necessarily think things need to be as stringent here as in Europe, but it would be nice to find a middle ground.

Nice area update Sandy, this is one of the most economical ways of avoiding traffic issues.  I get the opportunity to read books when taking trains to other areas.  This can be a very relaxing alternative.  Nice post.

Gary,

I'd love to see a train service connecting our cities. That would really alleviate the traffic load on our roads, in addition to decreasing demand for oil.
