VIA Metropolitan Transit began providing public transportation service in the San
Antonio area in March 1978. We are funded by a one-half cent sales tax levied in
San Antonio and seven other incorporated municipalities. In addition, VIA receives
one-eighth cent sales tax levied in San Antonio by the Advanced Transportation District.
VIA provides the following services in our community:
-
Bus service including downtown streetcar service
-
Paratransit service for riders with disabilities
-
Vanpool service for commuters
-
Starlight service between 1a.m. and 4a.m.

Special event park & ride service
VIA is governed by a Board of Trustees
with eleven appointees. In addition, the
VIA Citizens Advisory Council(CAC) provides an information exchange forum for VIA
to work with community representatives on transit related issues.
