TCAT transit input sessions
Your chance to reshape Ithaca's buses.
TCAT is hosting three public outreach sessions this August—August 19 and 29 at Tompkins County Public Library, and August 22 at Ithaca-Tompkins International Airport—to gather rider feedback on improving local transit [Quelle: Ithaca Voice]. Staff and representatives from the eRide pilot program, which launched in June offering affordable curb-to-curb electric van rides to West Hill, West End, and parts of Ithaca Flats residents, will be present to hear concerns and ideas. No RSVP needed.
Show up if you have ideas about how to fix the buses.

The decision centered on concerns over data sharing and oversight gaps. It signals how regional cities are reassessing automated surveillance tools in public spaces.
Watch whether Ithaca reconsiders its own camera policy.
