Parsons To Design Advanced Rapid Transit System in San Antonio
May 09 2024 - 6:35AM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that the company
was selected by VIA Metropolitan Transit Authority (VIA) to
complete final design of the Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) program
for the VIA Rapid Green Line in San Antonio, Texas. The $20
million, five-year contract represents new work for the company.
“San Antonio’s ART program is an innovative approach to
improving community connectivity,” said Sean Tenney, vice president
and Texas Regional Manager for Parsons. “This modern public
transportation solution is designed to move more people faster and
farther – helping support economic growth as the City of San
Antonio continues to grow at a rapid pace.”
The project, with an estimated capital cost of more than $400
million, is receiving funding from a variety of sources, including
the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) New Starts Capital
Improvement Grant (CIG) as well as local funding sources.
The 12-mile VIA Rapid Green Line will include 26 new stations
and connect major employment and residential centers, including the
San Antonio International Airport, through Downtown and south to
the historic missions area. ART systems deliver fast, frequent,
reliable public transit by dedicating bus lanes outside of regular
traffic, utilizing bus-friendly traffic signals, and offering
off-board fare collection options for faster boarding.
Parsons’ rail and transit experts have been connecting Texas for
more than 50 years and have paved the way for numerous rapid
transit projects with a proven track record of quality and
experience around the United States.
