Gadabout

Accessible transportation had long been considered a problem in Tompkins County when finally, in 1974 a group of concerned residents and agencies came together to find a solution. Gadabout was formed to fill the need of transportation for older adults and people with disabilities. After 2 years of planning and fundraising, the first vehicle arrived in November of 1976. Today Gadabout has a fleet of 31 accessible vehicles, travels over 500,000 miles and provides over 60,000 trips annually. Our volunteer and staff drivers will take riders to shop, volunteer, work, attend social gatherings, or to doctor’s appointments within Tompkins County. Anyone age 60 or over, or that has a disability that interferes with their ability to use public transportation is eligible to use the service. If you are interested in volunteering or using our service please call 273-1878.
