About Lewis County Transit Authority Board

Lewis County Transit is the public transportation provider for the cities of Centralia and Chehalis in Washington State.

The LPTBA is not a county-wide taxing district, rather the taxing boundaries are limited to the incorporated city limits of both Centralia and Chehalis. Current Board members are:
