The North-South project is expected to receive $158 million from President Joe Biden’s 2023 budget, thanks in part to the city’s ability to demonstrate a plan for matching funds. Story by AndreaDrusch.
Via Metropolitan Transit officials said Friday that they expect a new rapid transit line from downtown to the airport will become a reality five years ahead of schedule.Support from the Biden administration and an influx of cash from federal COVID-19 relief is bumping up the timeline for San Antonio’s plan to offer rapid bus services from downtown to the San Antonio Airport, according to VIA Metropolitan Transit President and CEO Jeff Arndt.
“What really changed was the fact that we got COVID relief funds from the federal government,” Arndt told reporters after the event. “We were able to use those to pay for operating expenses during COVID … as a result of that, we were able to also preserve some of the sales tax that we would have spent, that this replaced.”
“We were able to go to the federal government now and say, ‘Hey, we have the funding. We have the local match,'” said Arndt. “We are implementing VIA Link services several years earlier than we could have because we couldn’t really afford to do any more [on our own] until 2026.” Arndt said he met with FTA Administrator Nuria Fernandez in Austin to discuss the project, and again in Washington, D.C., as part of the annual SA to DC trip made by business and government leaders. High-ranking FTA officials toured San Antonio to view the ART project“We drove them along the corridor, and they looked around and said, ‘This is exactly the kind of area where we want to make transit investments,'” said Arndt.
