VIA officials are looking to Bexar County to contribute $101 million to secure millions in federal funding.
Work on two rapid transit bus routes in San Antonio is underway, but VIA Metropolitan Transit is still trying to line up $101 million so it can secure large federal grants for one of those lines. VIA Metropolitan Transit is slated to receive a total of $267.8 million from the Biden administration for its planned Green Line along San Pedro Avenue and another $142.9 million for the Silver Line on Commerce and Houston streets.
San Antonio and Austin have talked about commuter rail before. This time may be different. Construction of the Green Line is expected to begin in 2025. It will be just under 12 miles long and have 26 new stations along the route. VIA is purchasing 17 new low-emission buses for the route.
