VIA breaks ground on region’s first Advanced Rapid Transit line

Local leaders and VIA Metropolitan Transit officials conducted a ceremonial groundbreaking for the VIA Rapid Green Line today on the southern portion of the corridor, officially kicking off the project’s construction phase.

Work on the Green Line is slated to begin in late July, starting with key utility relocation and other grade-level preparations along the 10.35-mile route.

“This project is part of our commitment to deliver on what San Antonians have asked for: better, more reliable and more frequent service,” VIA President & CEO Jon Gary Herrera said at the groundbreaking ceremony, held at Roosevelt Park. “This isn’t just about infrastructure. It’s about access, about connecting people to opportunity and to the friends, family, places and things that are important to them. The Green Line will do so with the highest frequency and most reliable service.”

Set to begin service in early 2028, the VIA Rapid Green Line will provide enhanced transit access from near the San Antonio International Airport, down San Pedro Avenue, through Downtown to Steves Avenue, near the historic missions, with continuing service to the Brooks Transit Center. The Green Line will operate 21 hours a day, between 4 a.m. and 1 a.m., with 10-minute frequency during the week and 15-minute frequency on weekends.

“The VIA Rapid Green Line is the culmination of intense community-driven planning, and VIA is now delivering on what our region envisioned for mobility,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg said. “Great cities have great public transportation, and I’m excited to see VIA innovating with projects like Advanced Rapid Transit, which is designed to be future-proof and meet the growing and evolving needs of our residents.”

The Green Line represents the region’s first Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) line and is a major component of VIA’s voter-approved Keep San Antonio Moving plan. Funded in part by a one-eighth cent sales tax that VIA will begin receiving in 2026, the project reflects a regional commitment to building a more modern, connected transportation network.

The construction project will be completed in phases, and VIA will provide at least 30 days’ notice before construction begins in each segment of the corridor. The agency will continue working closely with residents and businesses to minimize disruptions throughout the construction process.

Initial construction will begin in late July near U.S. Highway 281 and Isom Road, and near Roosevelt Avenue and Steves Avenue. The project’s construction limits are from Isom Road on the north to Steves Avenue on the south.

Keep SA Moving envisions a future where San Antonio is more connected than ever, where people can move around the city faster and easier whether they’re going to work, school, healthcare appointments, visiting friends and family, attending events, or simply enjoying and exploring our community. VIA projects are meeting the needs of the growing community with mass transit solutions designed for the future.

Keep SA Moving includes several innovative transit projects bringing more accessible and affordable options to more people across San Antonio.

Bringing Rapid Transit to San Antonio

VIA Rapid is a state-of-the-art transit system that includes upgraded vehicles and infrastructure to enhance travel and safety for everyone along some of the city’s most traveled corridors.

Linking People With Service on Demand

VIA Link is an on-demand service that gives riders more options and connectivity in designated zones throughout the city, where traditional bus service might not make sense.

The Keep SA Moving Plan includes expanding VIA Link service to more zones so people in these areas can more easily access work, school, and essential services.

Building a Better Bus System

We’re studying travel patterns, evaluating existing service and optimizing service to better serve more riders and connect our fast-growing city.

Creating New Ways to Move

Keep SA Moving projects are designed to make existing service more efficient, improve transportation infrastructure and connectivity, and increase access to affordable transit options.

Shaping the Future Together

Keep SA Moving turns visions into ideas, and ideas into plans, all developed through collaboration with community members, city leaders, and business owners.

Delivering on a Promise to Keep SA Moving

San Antonio is one of the fastest-growing large cities in Texas and the United States. Its population is more spread out than comparable metro areas, and public transit remains underfunded compared to other large Texas cities.
