VIA to proceed with development of multi-modal center in West San Antonio



Quote:
The U.S. Department of Transportation .. awarded VIA Metropolitan Transit .. a $15 million grant to fund the development of San Antonio’s first multi-modal transportation hub in the Cattleman Square area.

VIA will invest in a Westside Multimodal Transit Center that will offer commuters access to regular bus service, bus rapid-transit service, intercity bus service, local taxi service, access to Amtrak .. and the proposed Lone Star Rail commuter service between San Antonio and Austin. The center will be located in and around the International and Great Northern Railroad depot building just west of downtown.

“The Westside Multimodal Center is the hub of our mass transit future,” says San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro. “Because of this and other investments, people coming down the I-10 and State Highway 151 corridors will soon find it easier to get to downtown and on to their destinations in other parts of the city.”
