New York State Route 282 (NY 282) is a state highway

NY 282 is located entirely within Tioga County
, beginning at its northern end, in the Town of Tioga
, crossing the Susquehanna River
, and passing through the Town of Nichols
to Pennsylvania.
Route 282 begins at the state line, where Pennsylvania Route 187 left off. Route 282 heads to the north, passing fields, farms and a few residential homes along the way. The highway intersects a former routing of itself, which heads into a field nearby. Route 282 enters the town of Nichols, where it intersects with County Route 505. In Nichols, Route 282 turns to the west at East River Road, now paralleling the Southern Tier Expressway (I-86/NY 17). The two roads interchange, the first time eastbound, and after a turn to the north with West River Road, the westbound exit. Route 282 heads out of Nichols, via a bridge over a river. Route 282 terminates at NY 17C
soon after.
