ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) — New buses are being prepped to join TCAT’s fleet. 

General Manager Matthew Rosenbloom-Jones was out in California last week to get his first look at the transit company’s newest vehicles.

Rosenbloom-Jones adds they’ll soon be road tested.

Once they arrive in Ithaca this summer, the new buses will replace older diesel buses still on the road. Meantime, Rosenbloom-Jones tells WHCU that TCAT is also getting some new battery-electric buses later this year.
