More than a year after the pandemic disrupted the original launch plan, Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit, Inc. (TCAT, Inc) will begin service on Tconnect, the organization’s app-based, on-demand service.
The service will begin operating weekdays Aug. 9 in the village of Dryden, N.Y., and surrounding rural areas.
Tconnect’s aim is to reduce transportation barriers for those living too far, generally considered to be more than a quarter mile from a bus stop, to connect riders with a fixed TCAT route for travel anywhere within the TCAT system.
