The Transportation Plan

San Antonio will continue to experience significant population growth over the next 25 years. This increase in population will affect many aspects of daily life in San Antonio creating both challenges and opportunities. SA Tomorrow is an unprecedented, multi-faceted planning initiative to accommodate this growth. The planning effort will explore how to preserve the San Antonio culture and increase livability through ensuring housing and transportation choices as our city grows.  

The Multimodal Transportation Plan covers the entire City of San Antonio and its extraterritorial jurisdiction.  It also takes into account all modes of transportation including: auto, freight, rail, transit, biking and walking. When complete, the plan will:

  • Communicate the City’s transportation strategy for the future,
  • Develop proposed improvements that address all modes, and
  • Provide for a method of prioritizing projects.

The Multimodal Transportation Plan serves as a tool that will be used to analyze transportation priorities to best meet overall community goals.   The plan also fulfills the transportation component of the San Antonio Comprehensive Plan, implements the goals of SA 2020; complements the Alamo Area MPO’s Mobility 2040: Metropolitan Transportation Plan; and maximizes infrastructure investments.
