In a generous gesture, VIA is offering free rides to attendees of San Antonio's 45th annual Raul Jimenez Thanksgiving Dinner, making it easier for residents to partake in this cherished local tradition. Passengers can access this service simply by informing their driver of their plans to attend the dinner. This initiative not only alleviates transportation costs but also emphasizes VIA's commitment to community engagement and support. The Raul Jimenez Thanksgiving Dinner has become a hallmark of San Antonio, providing a warm meal and a sense of community to many individuals and families during the holiday season. By making transportation more accessible, VIA aims to foster a greater sense of togetherness and inclusivity among attendees.

This action aligns with the growing trend of public transportation systems enhancing their role in community service. With events like this, VIA is not just a transit company; it's an integral part of the community fabric. Such initiatives not only benefit those in need but also encourage civic participation and highlight the importance of public transportation in local events.
