Welcome to the Texas Transit Association!
The Texas Transit Association (TTA) was organized in 1986. Our members are Texas metropolitan, small urban, and rural transit agencies, as well as private and public entities from across the United States.
TTA would like to thank all of the the sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees for making this year’s conference one of the most successful events to date. We also appreciate the strong support of our host agency VIA Metropolitan Transit Authority and TxDOT!
WARNING: *IGNORE FRAUDULENT ATTENDEE LIST PROVIDERS*
It has come to our attention that companies have been contacting TTA attendees and exhibitors and identifying themselves as having access to TTA’s attendee lists. TTA DOES NOT SELL its attendee lists to any vendors or other third parties. Anyone attempting to sell you this information should be considered fraudulent. TTA strongly recommends that all conference registrants disregard such emails. Please contact info@TxTransit.org for additional information.
Please take a couple of minutes to complete our brief survey so we can make any improvements needed for our 2025 TTA Conference in McAllen. We value your feedback. Again, we hope you enjoyed your time in San Antonio, and we look forward to seeing you in McAllen. If you have any comments or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. Thank you again for your continued support.

Firefighters rush to subdue deadly Panhandle wildfire before dangerous conditions return Saturday, Posted on 3/1/24
A blanket of snow and rain that descended over the Texas Panhandle on Thursday helped firefighters to quell the spread of the largest wildfire in the state’s history, which has engulfed more than 1 million acres of land and killed at least two people.
But firefighters are racing against the clock to temper down the flames before the weekend, when weather forecasters predict another round of gusty winds and low humidity could again create dangerous fire conditions for the remote region in the top corner of Texas.

VIA Board Selects New Council to Keep SA Moving Members (Volunteer group to advocate for Keep SA Moving projects), Posted 4/1/24
The VIA Metropolitan Transit Board of Trustees has appointed 21 community members to the newly created Council to Keep San Antonio Moving, signaling another significant step toward working with the community to realize a more connected and accessible future for the greater San Antonio region.
The council is composed of local transit advocates who will serve on the all-volunteer group, created to help inform and engage the public about innovative projects and services that are part of VIA’s Keep San Antonio Moving plan, funded by a reallocation of an existing 1/8th-cent sales tax beginning in 2026, approved by San Antonio voters in November 2020.
“The VIA Council to Keep San Antonio Moving will help strengthen our connection to the public we serve by having conversations, sharing information, and gathering feedback that will help drive a more vibrant, mobile future for San Antonio,” VIA President/CEO Jeffrey C. Arndt said.
