Adopt-a-Bus-Shelter

VIA has over 800 shelters throughout Bexar County. The Adopt-A-Bus-Shelter Program helps VIA provide immediate attention to maintenance concerns, graffiti removal, urgent repairs, and security issues.

VIA encourages local organizations and businesses to participate in the program by adopting a VIA shelter in their area to assist in keeping our community cleaner and safer.

What are the benefits of adopting a shelter?

The Adopt-A-Bus-Shelter participants contribute to keeping our community and environment cleaner and safer, benefiting everyone in the community.

In appreciation of the organization's participation:

• a plaque recognizing the organization will be placed on the shelter.
• the organizations will have an opportunity to receive recognition in VIA's Rider Reader, web site, and other media materials.

What are the responsibilities of adopting a shelter?

Being a participant is an easy process. Upon signing up as a participant, the organization or business will be asked to:

• assist in the removal of debris (at least once per week) between VIA scheduled cleanings.
• report the need for repairs or graffiti removal.
• report the need for security.
