Lieberman Extension Center on The Commons in Ithaca to the main campus in Dryden, to our extension center in Cortland, transportation needs are significant for TC3 students and visitors. Local bus services and taxis can help navigate the Ithaca and Cortland areas. Further out, regional transportation and air service is readily available.
