Outreach
Chemung County’s mobility manager works to get the word out about transportation options like public transit. Contact the mobility manager if you have an event, a group, or organization that would be an appropriate venue for outreach.
Riders Advisory Council
We’re here to listen. C TRAN has two Riders Advisory Councils, one that is made up of senior citizens and people with disabilities and the other with Corning Community College students and staff participating. The Councils discuss appropriate improvements to be made to our transit system that will better meet riders’ needs. The Elmira group meets quarterly and the CCC group meets twice per year. Contact the mobility manager if you would like to participate in this dialog.
Bus Buddies
We have trained volunteers to act as travel trainers, people who provide individualized training to give a person who wants to become a rider the skills to travel safely and independently on public transportation. Contact the Mobility Manager or Customer Service Department to see if this service will work for you.

Regional Efforts
Collaboration has been key in promoting the new mobility options for the Southern Tier. Formally launched in 2014, the Mobility Managers of Chemung and Steuben counties worked to promote the Southern Tier Rideshare Program. This green, economical alternative to the single occupancy car trip continues to spark interest and participation increased.
As of 2019, programs like the 511NYRideshare Program have expanded across five counties as commuters have discovered new ways to get to work, make connections to public transit and develop a back-up plan for vehicle maintenance & repair, inclement weather carpooling and enjoy helping others who are seeking affordable transportation options.

Southern Tier Rideshare
Public transit may not meet the transportation need for everyone.
