Using public transit is a practical alternative to driving. However, ridership on Texas public transit services has declined. The state’s public transportation system was already struggling with falling ridership and rising costs. The COVID-19 crisis brought even greater drops in ridership, service, and revenue, and suggested to some that public transit was in “death spiral.” Yet, despite this, many Texans continue to use public transit, and many cities and towns are taking advantage of it.
The state Legislature appropriates state funds for urban and rural transit districts every two years. These funds come from local sales taxes, which range from 0.25 percent to one percent. Local sales taxes have accounted for over $2 billion in fiscal 2019 and make up 78 percent of the total revenue for the MTA. TxDOT also provides direct state funding to the urban and rural transit districts. This funding is based on population and need, as well as performance measures.
The San Antonio area is the fastest-growing metropolitan area in the United States, and the city has a growing need for expanded infrastructure. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, more than 28 million miles are traveled in Bexar County each day. This increase is largely due to the growth of the population and increased economic activity. Additionally, truck traffic has expanded beyond the capacity of existing infrastructure.
