TCAT Consultants reviewed all of our routes and the changing demographics of Tompkins County and have made a final set of recommendation. There are just a few places in the system where they proposed to cut the overall level of service by more than 20% and one of those corridors is in Cayuga Heights. Please look at the attached map and you will see that The Parkway/Northway corridor will experience fewer trips a day for a few block stretch. We generally don’t get a lot of ridership in this area, and this is part of the reason that the consultants recommended moving the 30 to Pleasant Grove and Jessup, rather than the Parkway/Northway/ Highland Corridor. There will still be hourly service in this corridor on route 31-41. The change to the route 30 was done in summer 2021 so that we could accommodate additional students on North Campus in the Fall.
In the southern part of the Village, where there are more students living, TCAT has gotten numerous complaints about moving the route 30. As a result, we have planned an adjustment to the route 83, which will take it past the heavily used Highland @ Lakeland stop, then it will use White Park to connect to Triphammer, returning to Cornell’s campus and serving the Triphammer @ Oak Hill and Triphammer @ Country Club stops. Both of these stops have nearby housing for graduate and undergraduate students and can use more than the one trip per hour on the route 32.
