We are aware that Bexar County Public Works began a road improvement project along Old Fredericksburg Road that may impact bus routes 85, 106, 125. The project began on January 13 and we understand there to be several incremental phases of road closure. Learn more here.

We assessed the impact on bus routes and monitored route times. At this time, the impact to route time is expected to be minimal.

We are actively monitoring the road work impacts and will communicate any adjustments, should they be needed.

We appreciate your patience as we monitor the road work in our area.

If you have any questions, please contact the Transportation Office at 830-357-2970.

We are collecting the items below to make personal care item bags to be given to Hill Country Daily Bread to pass out to people in need. They are not necessarily Valentine bags but will be given with a loving and uplifting card. The deadline for the collection is Friday, January 31st. STUCO will be putting the bags together during our next representative meeting.
