TCAT bus service provides excellent service for a rural community like ours, but funding is always a struggle. Bus services have been reduced due to severe budget constraints. The biggest employers in our area – Cornell University and Ithaca College – need to provide more funding to our local bus services.

Current District 11 Legislator, Peter Stein, has devoted much of his time and expertise to TCAT by serving on the Board of Directors for many years. I would like to continue his advocacy and work on behalf of public transportation.
