You can travel to and from Kolommya/ Kolomiya mostly from buses/coaches. Usually these can be organised from the airport.

If you have hired a car, Kolomiya is roughly an hour away from other small towns like Kosiv and it is roughly 2 hours or less drive from the centre of the province Ivano-Frankivsk.
