Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff and Mayor Phil Hardberger have appointed a thirteen member Transportation Task Force that will assess existing transportation plans and priorities in order to make local policy as well as state and federal legislative recommendations.  The task force will begin its work in July and make a state legislative recommendation in November, with final proposals delivered by the end of the year.

As San Antonio and Bexar County continue to grow at a healthy pace, it is imperative to ensure the transportation systems are viable, efficient and integrated to support the growing population and lessen the environmental impacts.  Rising fuel prices, the overall economic downturn throughout the country and stricter federal pollution standards make the work of the task force even more critical and timely.
