Transit Employee Appreciation Day - VIA Metropolitan Transit

Gratitude fuels greatness and acknowledging the efforts of coworkers is the first step in fostering collective success and a positive work environment. It takes the entire VIA team of Superheroes to keep San Antonio Moving and for that, we say THANK YOU.

VIA is proud to join the American Public Transportation Association in recognizing National Transit Employee Appreciation Day (TEAD) with celebrations at multiple transit center and VIA facilities on March 18, 2024. We want to let all VIA employees know that they are the Superheroes that keep San Antonio moving. Everyone at VIA – all departments and divisions – plays a vital role in the success of the agency and we want to acknowledge each one.
