On
the heels of passing SA Climate Ready, San Antonio announced a
partnership with NACTO through
the American Cities Climate Challenge. Working with VIA Metropolitan
Transit, San Antonio is tapping into the rich technical network offered
at NACTO (the National Association of City Transportation Officials) to
rapidly build out 2-3 high-quality transit corridors. First up: S.
Zarzamora Street. Read full story.

Through
our Walkable Community Program, the MPO is working with the City of New
Braunfels to assess walkability of its downtown. On December 11th,
staff from both agencies walked routes around Main Plaza to collect
photos and document challenges to walking and biking in the area. MPO
staff will provide the City of New Braunfels with a report in early
2020 that captures input from the public and agency staff. Find out more.
The
MPO's Walkable Community Program helps build a safer, healthier, and
greener transportation system to improve our community's quality of
life. For more information or to request a Walkable Community Workshop
for your own school, neighborhood or community group, contact Joey
Pawlik, the MPO's Active Transportation Planner, at pawlik@alamoareampo.org
