Do you commute daily to the Ithaca College campus from a community served by Tioga County Area Transit System?“Ride Tioga” Route 1 supports commuters in Waverly, Lockwood, Van Etten, Spencer and West Danby (connecting to TCAT Route 11 at the Green Street stop downtown). “Ride Tioga” Route 3 supports commuters from Owego, Candor, Danby and would drop riders off at the main campus entrance. Do you currently ride a Tioga transit bus to work? Would you like to try commuting to work by bus?
The College will pilot support for our employees interested in riding to work each day on Tioga transit routes by providing them with a free unlimited ride monthly pass for each of the months of March, April and May 2011.
Because there is a substantial upfront cost to the College associated with providing out-of-Tioga county unlimited ride passes during this pilot period, this commuter support program is intended to meet the needs of those College employees who would plan to regularly use the transit service to travel to/from work.
Please review carefully the service hours of those “Ride Tioga” transit routes into Ithaca to ensure that this service would effectively meet your needs in terms of your arrival and departure from work. To learn more about "Ride Tioga" service routes and schedules, visit Tioga County Area Transit System.
This commuter support pilot will run from March 1 through May 31, and be constantly monitored in terms of interest and participation. If you are interested in participating in this Tioga transit commuting pilot, please contact Marian Brown at mbrown@ithaca.edu or 274-3787 NO LATER THAN NOON ON MONDAY, February 21st so we can order your first month’s unlimited ride pass and receive it here in time for the start of the March 1 pilot transit ridership period.
