Transportation Services

Our Mission: Shaping our community through better transportation choices.

Transportation Featured Items:

• Mobility Indicators:  The City is monitoring mode use at 11 locations in the City.  Once a year, bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, and motor vehicles are counted at each location. 
• Noxious Weeds:  As required by law, the crews are working to control noxious weeds in the City's right of way.
• Public Pathways Pilot Program: Public Pathways are short cuts for bicyclists and pedestrians that connect streets to parks, schools, and other streets where no motor vehicle connection exists.  The City developed guidelines for residents to make basic improvements that are appropriate for a public pathway.
• West Olympia Access Study: In May 2010, City Council decided on a preferred alternative for modifying access to SR101. 
• Transportation Mobility Strategy: The Transportation Mobility Strategy (TMS) was accepted by City Council on August 4, 2009.
