How a booming Texas city built a transit network from scratch.
November 12 | 1pm EST | Zoom
When New Braunfels, Texas, grew by 56% in a decade, its transportation needs outpaced what traditional transit could deliver. After officially becoming an Urbanized Area (UZA), city leaders needed a way to connect residents to jobs, healthcare, and everyday essentials without major capital investments or years of lead time.
In this session, learn how a lean municipal team turned a transit study into Rio—a microtransit network that delivered over 70,000 rides in record time. We’ll walk through their exact blueprint: from navigating federal funding transitions to operator selection and launch.
