Multi-Use Trails in Tompkins County, N.Y.

This map, updated in February 2008, shows the status of the planned multi-use trail network for Tompkins County (refer to the 1996 Transportation Trail/Corridor Study). Trails shown as existing have been built and are open to the public. Trails in progress are those that have been allocated funding and are at some stage in their design or construction. Proposed trails are those that have been identified in plans but have not been funded or advanced in any other way.

Tompkins County Bicycle Suitability Map

The ITCTC has updated the bicycle suitability map of Tompkins County roads. The finished product is a user-friendly full-color map being offered to the public (FREE). Our first map was released August 1, 2007. An updated map for 2008 was released June 2, 2008. Our most recent map was updated in 2010 and became available as of August 11, 2010. Look for the maps at various locations throughout the county or stop into the ITCTC office at 121 E. Court St., Ithaca; receive your map(s) on an individual basis, in bundles of twenty-five, or in cases of 200...(limitied printing, only available while they last)

2006 Tompkins County Construction Projects

ITCTC staff has compiled road construction information from local partners. The 2006 Tompkins County Construction Projects table (updated as of 5/1/06) provides the project name, description, location, as well as the start and finish dates, if known.

A 36" x 44" map has been produced showing proposed construction projects that will have an impact on traffic for at least a 24-hour period. Copies of the map are available upon request for $5.00 each from the ITCTC.

Cumulative Summary Report

Northeast Subarea Transportation Study Transit Planning Project (NTPP) - March, 2003

The purpose of the NTPP was to design a public transportation system for the study area that would reduce current and expected congestion levels in the area roadways based on a thorough feasibility analysis. The proposed public transportation system would seek to implement Recommendation 2 of the NESTS Plan while supporting the Livability Principles described in that document. A long-term goal of this study was to reduce the need for roadway capacity expansion in future years through the implementation of public transportation strategies.

Northeast Subarea Transportation Study (NESTS) - July, 1999

NESTS was a formal corridor analysis whose purpose was to determine if there was a need for additional capacity and safety improvements, congestion management, and improved Transportation Systems Management/Transportation Demand Management (TSM/TDM) for the Northeast area of Tompkins County.

The study included an analysis of the possible problems that lead to congestion and proposed a range of possible solutions intended to improve current and future traffic conditions in the study area. The NESTS Transit Planning Project (NTPP) grew out of recommendation 2 of this study.

Transportation Trail/Corridor Study - March, 1996

The purpose of this study was to review the status of major corridor preservation opportunities within Tompkins County, to identify corridors with the highest potential for use as a countywide trail system, and to provide more detailed and implementation-oriented planning for a select subset of high priority corridors. This study addressed potential road corridors as well as multiuse trail corridors.
