Ithaca Electric Transportation Access (IETA) Project

Ithaca Electric Transportation Access (IETA) Project operates a partially electric bus fleet that brings clean transit to many Tompkins County communities. However, like any fixed route transit, the bus system has limited service areas. To address this issue Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) and partners are developing a suite of coordinated services to serve low-income and transportation-disadvantaged communities. Services include on-demand transportation; expanding electric bike sharing services; and economic incentives to improve economic mobility. This combination of services will increase transportation access and availability, reduce costs to the consumers, and improve economic stability and opportunity.
