These buses continue today providing transportation to the general public as well as school children. The two ZONE routes known as supplemental Service to Hoodsport and Kamilche sere residents to the North to Hoodsport and to the South to Kamilche Monday through Friday.

Mason County WorkSource & Mason County Transportation Authority has developed a training program for the public, and specifically, caseworkers, assisting Mason County residents seeking training and jobs through the Washington State reaching first time workers, students, and people re-entering the workforce, giving them information on Mason Transit and other transportation resources.
