Legislature unanimously appoints Laura Lewis as county representative to TCAT board
Summary
The Tompkins County Legislature voted unanimously Dec. 16 to appoint Laura Lewis to fill Susan Curry’s vacated seat on the TCAT board, citing continuity and Lewis’s recent role as TCAT chair.
The legislature moved and approved the nomination of Laura Lewis to serve out the county seat on the Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) board after Susan Curry’s resignation. The Facilities and Infrastructure Committee recommended Lewis, noting that she has been chair of TCAT this past year and active on the board’s executive committee.
The appointment was moved and seconded, and after brief supportive remarks from legislators who have worked with Lewis, the legislature conducted a roll-call vote in accordance with the remote-attendance policy. The motion carried unanimously (14 ayes). "Laura Lewis has been an absolute steadfast leader," one supporter said during the brief discussion.
The legislature thanked Lewis for agreeing to continue as a county representative and noted the vote preserves continuity on TCAT’s board as local transit planning continues into 2026.
