Ithaca-Tompkins County Transportation Council Presents Long Range Transportation Plan Draft

The Ithaca-Tompkins County Transportation Council (ITCTC) is updating its Long-Range Transportation Plan for Tompkins County. The plan covers the 20-year period through 2045. The purpose and primary objective of the transportation plan is to develop a common vision for the future of transportation in Tompkins County. A complete draft of the plan is available for review before it moves to the formal committee approval process. The deadline for comments is November 1, 2024. The ITCTC will review the plan at their November 5 meeting, with final approval expected at the December 17 meeting.

“We are in the final stages of the five-year update of the 2045 Long-Range Transportation Plan,” stated Fernando de Aragón, director of the ITCTC. “The plan helps us define a transportation vision for Tompkins County and public input is essential. We’ve heard from many people over the last year through direct contacts with the ITCTC and through our online survey. Now we have a draft plan and there is a final opportunity to provide input before the November 1 deadline.”
