Transportation Around Ithaca
The Hilton offers a shuttle, which can provide transportation to-and-from Ithaca-Tompkins Regional Airport as well as Cornell University's campus; to schedule the shuttle, call the Hilton at 607.277.8900.
TCAT, Ithaca's bus system, is convenient and reliable. Route 10 provides a loop between downtown and campus, a stop for which is located one-block from the Hilton.
If the weather is nice, one can walk between downtown and Cornell's campus. The route includes either a steep hill (streets) or many stairs (gorge trail); however, Jason will be happy to walk anyone back downtown thru Cascadilla Gorge following meetings both days but he strongly recommends wearing good walking shoes as the route includes many uneven stairs.
