Cornell University

Alternate Transportation Options

Cornell University is closely monitoring ongoing labor negotiations between Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) staff, represented by the United Auto Workers (UAW) union, and TCAT management. On March 11-12, union members held a strike authorization vote.  

 

What This Means for You

To help commuters plan for the near future, we encourage Cornell community members to begin exploring alternative commuting plans such as RideShare Commuting options or carpooling. Supervisors may be flexible if a work stoppage impacts a staff member’s ability to reach campus. This includes adjusting start and end times or permitting an employee to work remotely temporarily if their job responsibilities allow.  

 

Stay Informed

As the situation evolves, the university will provide updates via this page, campus messages and newsletters. Monitor TCAT’s website for additional updates on service outages.   

 

**Please note that TDS Customer Service will not have any additional information to provide outside of the above-mentioned channels.  Permit and special parking area enforcement are still in effect.   

TDS appreciates your patience and cooperation in navigating this situation. We remain committed to keeping our community connected and supported.
