Commute by Bus

The Evergreen State College is served by two Intercity Transit bus routes, route 41 & route 48. Public transit is an easy way to move about Olympia, as well as up to Tacoma and Seattle.

Taking the bus is free and easy with a variety of bus passes for students and employees. And don't forget, bikes always ride free!

Student Transit Pass

Students enrolled at The Evergreen State College and South Puget Sound Community College ride free on Intercity Transit bus service by simply showing their current student ID card. Your transit pass is not valid, however, on express service to Tacoma/Seattle.

Employee Transit Pass

All Evergreen employees, including part-time and temporary employees, are eligible for the STAR (State Agency Rider) pass. The STAR pass allows you to ride any Intercity Transit bus, including the express service between Tacoma, and Olympia, at no charge.

The STAR pass can be used on any Intercity Transit bus, any time and for any reason. Use the STAR pass to commute to work or school, for shopping, for recreation or to go to dinner. To get your STAR pass, visit the Parking Services office in the Seminar Building.

Bikes on Buses

Bike and ride service is provided on all city and county routes and on Intercity Transit Express service to Tacoma. Many commuters ride their bikes to the nearest bus stop and then ride the bus the rest of the way to work or school. Two bicycles can be carried on any bicycle rack. Space is available on a first-come basis. Intercity Transit Bike & Ride Website
