ConnectSA is your opportunity to ask questions and give feedback to effect change on what transportation for individuals with disabilities will look like in our community over the next 25 years!

We've started with 3 initiatives in the 25 x 25 plan to:
  1. Create a “one-call, one-click ” center for transportation services and information for seniors and people with disabilities
  2. Create citywide standards for equitable, and affordable transportation choices for seniors and people with disabilities.
  3. Create at least 200 miles of ADA compliant sidewalks.

Based on your participation and feedback on the ConnectSA plan, we could end up with more, or these could fall off the priority list as other parts of our community have a bigger voice. With one in every 7 individuals in San Antonio living with a disability, this group should have the BIGGEST voice at the table.

​JOIN THE CONVERSATION FOR CHANGE - TRANSPORTATION
On Friday, December 13th, leaders from the disability community came together to discuss ways to improve transportation in San Antonio.  They will be including some of the following ideas in their feedback when participating in the ConnectSA survey on the transportation plan for San Antonio. 
  • Increase the distance from the VIA Bus route to qualify for VIA Transit services from 3/4 mile to 2 miles.
  • Add transitional seating to updated Bus Fleet so that more individuals needing wheelchair accommodations can ride the bus at any given time. 
  • Figure out a way to provide accessible transportation options to unincorporated cities within San Antonio without having to enter into a full contract for services with VIA.
  • Change the way the City of San Antonio defines "gaps in sidewalks" to include sidewalk segments that are no longer accessible or useable.

    Sharing your ideas below does not replace the importance and need for you to complete the ConnectSA Survey.  We will simply share your ideas as examples for others for brainstorming and idea sharing purposes.  Thank you!
