This study aims to identify and plan three (3) mobility hub locations to facilitate transfers between mobility on demand (MOD) service (locally known as via link) and fixed-route services

The Federal Transit Administration awarded San Antonio Metropolitan Transit (Via Metropolitan Transit) $500,000 on January 22, 2026, under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to identify and plan three mobility hub locations in San Antonio.

Via will conduct a needs assessment, programmatic development, and site evaluation and selection for three mobility hubs within zones designated in Via's Keep San Antonio Moving Plan. The hubs will facilitate transfers between Via Link, the locally operated mobility-on-demand service, and fixed-route transit services. The planned hubs are intended to incorporate context-appropriate amenities for patron comfort and convenience, enabling seamless transfers across Via's service network.

The project serves the general public and Via customers using public transportation and paratransit services. Work is performed in Texas and must be completed by October 31, 2026. No sub-recipients are involved in the award.
