The shuttle van service will not operate on federal holidays.
Currently, the van capacity is limited to eight passengers, due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The JBLM shuttle service has four routes:

The pickup and drop-off points are identified with the “Go Transit” logo. The vans display a “Go Transit” logo topper and side plague.
Active-duty service members, Department of Defense civilians, family members and sponsored guests may use the shuttle service. Shuttle users must have a valid ID available and sign a rider roster for potential contact tracing.
An Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant van is on order for use on the route.
