Our Goals

San Antonio Light Rail

The development of an effective intra-city rail system designed not only for tourists but also commuters, students, and residents.

Lone Star Rail

The creation of a commuter light rail on the I-35 corridor connecting San Antonio to Austin and the cities in between. We advocate for a cessation of plans to expand I-35 and instead divert those funds in purchase of the San Antonio-Austin rail corridor and the eventual creation of high-speed rail connections.

Safer Crossings and Safer Streets

The construction of elevated street crossings throughout the urban space.  No urban traffic should ever have to stop for a train to pass. We also advocate for rail as a safer means of transit than private vehicle.

Expanded Intercity Rail

We want San Antonio to become a regional hub for rail transit. Amtrak should increase its westbound Texas Eagle trains, and all Sunset Limited trains to daily service. It should restore direct connection between San Antonio and Oklahoma City, and eventually Wichita, via an expanded Heartland Flyer.  The Sunset Limited should be restored to its previous route, giving San Antonians direct rail links to Mobile, Jacksonville, and Orlando.

Excursion Rail

Amtrak should create regional weekend excursion rail connections to Marfa, TX, Big Bend National Park (via Alpine, TX), San Marcos, and other appropriate destinations.

The Future of Rail

We are excited for new ideas that push the boundaries of rail in our city and do not limit our vision of the future to the above.  These are the first steps.
