The Transportation Chapter (7.08 MB) of the Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan states that
Tompkins County should be a place where transportation choices are efficient, affordable, and healthy for people and the environment.
Политика округа Томпкинс заключается в следующем:
- Maintain and improve critical elements of the existing transportation network to support the safe movement of people and goods.
- Reduce the use of fossil fuels in transportation.
- Shift travel away from driving alone to biking, walking, carpooling/ridesharing, and using public transit.
- Support a pattern of land use that allows people to move efficiently and affordably.
- Provide for the safe and effective movement of freight to, from, and within the county.
- Continue to provide airport services that support community and business needs.
- Consider the needs of populations that are particularly challenged by transportation when developing systems and alternatives.
Although the primary organization in Tompkins County that is charged with facilitating county-wide transportation planning is the Ithaca-Tompkins County Transportation Council, the Tompkins County Department of Planning and Sustainability has been actively involved in several transportation projects.

Tompkins County Green Fleet Program Development
Tompkins County is in the process of developing a Green Fleet Program to advance conversion to plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and manage the County fleet to reduce consumption of fossil fuels. The project defines four tasks to 1) advise County departments in selection of PEVs, 2) develop a PEV Charging Station Report, 3) draft a Fleet Review Report, and 4) finalize a Tompkins County Fleet Management Framework.
