Travel To and Around Ithaca
TCAT Bus
TCAT is Ithaca's local public transit agency. Route 11 has three primary stops on campus - one at College Circle Apartments, one outside of Park Communications, and one at Towers (and several other possibilities in between) - to jump on to head to the Commons or transfer to another route to get anywhere in town. Ithaca College subsidizes student bus passes making TCAT an affordable alternative to driving. Information on how to purchase TCAT pass privileges and load them right onto your IC student ID card is available on the TCAT website.
