We recommend a rental car if you are flying in, and we've set up this Carpool Signup Sheet for people who would like to coordinate rides.
Please be aware that rideshare apps like Uber/Lyft can be spotty in this area. Do not rely on their availability in the late evening or early morning, or outside the Ithaca city limits.
