Transportation officials explore equitable, efficient public transport in Tompkins County

In Montpelier, Vermont, you can summon a public bus to pick you up right where you are, and drop you off exactly where you want to go using an app or by a phone call. It’s a way to transform public transportation into a more efficient and equitable system for the people who live there. The concept is called micro-transit, and some transportation officials in Ithaca are wondering if it might work here too.
