GO ITHACA TDM PROGRAM & TMO FORMATION

In mid-2019, the City of Ithaca was awarded a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Smart Communities grant to continue transportation demand management efforts. The City contracted the DIA to build its GO ITHACA program into a full-fledged Transportation Management Organization (TMO) aimed at helping workers and residents in Ithaca’s urbanized area to locate and use affordable and sustainable modes of transportation for their commute and to complete errands. The program currently offers transportation benefits to over 900 members and 25 businesses.

Tmo Formation

The program is currently exploring options that will lead to becoming a full-fledged and sustainable transportation management organization.

In 2022, GO ITHACA was awarded a New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Electric Mobility Challenge Grant and a subsequent New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Climate Smart Communities Grant. These grants will allow GO ITHACA to expand its activities in 2023 and beyond.

Tdm Policy

GO ITHACA is working with the City of Ithaca Planning Department to incorporate transportation demand management requirements into the Site Plan Review process.

Activities

Our transportation team offered a series of special activities. This year, the team was awarded a Tompkins County Outdoor Recreation Grant to conduct a Summer Tours Series. These tours, from May to August, took dozens of visitors and residents on walks and rides from downtown to outdoor destinations around Tompkins County.

Easy Access Program

GO ITHACA and the Center for Community Transportation developed a program that provides additional support to low-income members in the program. This program has grown to serve over 40 community members.
