San Antonio, Texas, is heavily dependent on its highways and has its own unique set of challenges as a major tourist destination with its famed Riverwalk and of course, the Alamo. Interstate 10 serves a broad range of mobility needs: Downtown business traffic, tourist traffic, and heavy traffic from the corporate headquarters of USAA, regional shopping centers, and the South Texas Medical Center. The corridor also boasts one of the region's most popular amusement parks and two college campuses (neither of which I assure you is the amusement park).
San Antonio's multi-agency ICM team is working to co-locate operations and emergency and incident management. They are promoting mode and route shifts through improved information and managing traffic flow through seamless traffic signal controls and signal timing plans.

The San Antonio, Texas application proposed I-10 from I-35 in downtown San Antonio to Loop 1604 as their corridor. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) San Antonio District was the lead agency, accompanied by the City of San Antonio, the VIA Metropolitan Transit Agency, the Southwest Research Institute, and the Texas Transportation Institute. In addition to the expected freeway and arterial capabilities, the corridor includes express bus.
