The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration awarded a $780,100 Project Grant to San Antonio's Via Metropolitan Transit on August 24, 2023. The grant supports a study to analyze pre- and post-COVID ridership patterns, rider demographics, and service allocation on Via's route network. The goal is to identify opportunities to maximize ridership and improve service quality for minority and low-income riders and communities. The study will incorporate an equity-focused community outreach and public engagement effort to inform a community-driven plan. The grant is funded through the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507), which provides resources to state and local government authorities for transit capital, operating assistance, and transportation planning. Via Metropolitan Transit is the sole awardee and will lead the study without any sub-recipients.
