Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) provides public transit service to Cornell University, the City of Ithaca, Tompkins County and parts of Tioga County.

History

TCAT was created in 1996 by coordinating three transit operators - Ithaca Transit, CU Transit and Tomtran - and the agencies were officially merged into one entity in 2004.[1]

Paratransit services are contracted out to Gadabout Transportation Service, which also operates from the TCAT garage at 737 Willow Street.
