Board of Trustees for the Advanced
Transportation District (ATD) approved
an agreement with Bexar
County on Aug. 27 that secures $102
million from ATD revenues to fulfill the
agency's local funding obligation for
the VIA Rapid Silver Line, a move that
now allows the agency to proceed in
seeking a 50 percent match in federal
funding for the $289.2 million project.
The Silver Line is the second planned
Advanced Rapid Transit corridor in the
region and will connect the area near
Our Lady of the Lake University on
the west side to the Frost Bank Center
on the east side, passing through
