The San Antonio City Council recently voted to allocate funds to help improve the city's public transit service, VIA Metropolitan Transit.
A $4.3 million investment from the City’s General Fund in the FY18 budget will significantly cut wait times on nine VIA routes and along five heavily-traveled corridors by May 2018.
“As we prepare to welcome roughly 1 million more people to our region over the next two decades, VIA will continue to be a good steward of its resources while building a stronger transit system to improve mobility and accessibility,” VIA President/CEO Jeff Arndt said.

VIA provides service to an area the size of Houston’s Metro Transit system but is funded by a one-half cent sales tax, compared to other major transit authorities in Texas which receive a full cent. Building a better bus system requires a greater investment of dollars but also a vision for a more sustainable future.
The region’s fixed-route system finished out the year with a total of 373.5 million rides. Adding 12.3 million rides over 2024 represents an increase that is equal to the annual transit ridership of Kansas City.
