San Antonio considers transit authority asset sale to MTA
The proposed transit authority would buy city assets valued around 8 million from the City of San Antonio. Funding may come from federal and MTA sources or bonds, still undecided. The MTA board would include five current committee members plus one inner tier city rep and one county rep, with more leaders possible as outlying towns join. The City would keep a majority board. Present committee members advancing the plan are Mrs. Jones, Marin Hoyt, Paul D. Straw, Walter Brown, and Frank Alvarez, all in early two-year terms. The committee seeks City Council hearing this Thursday and an August election date may shift to align with capital improvements bonds.
