VIA's proposed North/South corridor would transport passengers from San Antonio International Airport to downtown using all-electric busses, and is estimated to cost $320 million.
San Antonio is one step closer to having rapid transit corridor after federal environmental regulators ruled that VIA Metropolitan Transit's plans wouldn't violate pollution standards, transportation authority officials said Wednesday. If constructed, the VIA's Advanced Rapid Transit project would be the region's first rapid transit corridor, connecting San Antonio International Airport to Mission Concepcion south of downtown, they also said., ferrying passengers in designated center lanes. The corridor would include stops at 27 new transit stations, including North Star Mall, San Antonio College and Brackenridge High School, among others.
"This is a major milestone in the journey to deliver on our commitment to this community, which said 'yes' to investing in transit improvements," VIA President and CEO Jeffrey C. Arndt said in an emailed statement."I'm proud of the team and the work done to ensure we proceed with a project designed to minimize environmental impact and provide new, modern options to connect more people to opportunity.
