San Antonio-Bexar County Metropolitan Planning Organization On December 7th, after three years in the making, the Transportation Policy Board approved the MPO’s new long-range transportation plan, Mobility 2035. The long range transportation plan is a critical requirement for the cooperative, comprehensive, and continuous transportation planning process mandated by Federal law ...for all MPOs. As the blueprint for our future transportation system, “Mobility 2035” contains regional multimodal goals and policies as well as a financially constrained project list based on “reasonably expected” federal, state and local revenues. Altogether, Mobility 2035 programs 34 roadway projects for approximately $4.9 billion with another $5 billion listed for transit projects.

MPO staff participated in the October 2nd Bike Summit at San Antonio’s City Hall hosted by the City of San Antonio’s Office of Environmental Policy. The Summit was well attended with both Mayor Castro and City Manager Sculley providing opening remarks. Participants included Councilman Lopez, district 8 staff, represe...ntatives from major businesses in the area, bicycle organizations and other avid cyclists.
The League of American Bicyclists helped participants envision both short and long term imporvements to help make San Antonio and Bexar County a more bicycle-friendly community. Following the workshop, participants were invited to ride bicycles to get a first-hand experience of cycling on the streets of San Antonio. Mayor Castro and Councilman Lopez were joined by approximately thirty other cyclists and rode a route that took some riders all the way to Mission Espada and back. A past Chairman of the MPO’s Bicycle Mobility Task Force, Mayor Castro has long supported cycling in San Antonio.
