San Antonio Mobility Coalition

What San Antonio Mobility Coalition does

The San Antonio Mobility Coalition (SAMCo), founded in 2001 and legally organized as San Antonio Mobility Coalition, Inc., is a non-profit advocacy corporation headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. Its core function is to advocate for additional and accelerated state and federal funding for highway, street, transit, freight, and aviation infrastructure serving the greater San Antonio region. SAMCo operates as a public-private coalition, convening public-sector members (Bexar County, City of San Antonio, VIA Metropolitan Transit, Alamo Area MPO, Alamo RMA, AACOG) with private-sector members including engineering firms (HDR, HNTB, Jacobs, Raba Kistner), construction firms (Zachry Construction), Port San Antonio, Class I railroad Union Pacific, and chambers of commerce. Governance is delivered through a 26-member Executive Committee (10 public-sector seats, 9 private-sector seats, 7 officer positions) and a Board of Directors comprising 80+ member firms.

The organization's "products" are non-technological services: legislative advocacy at the Texas state level, recurring stakeholder events (State of Aviation, State of Transit, State of the District with TxDOT, Regional Transportation Forums, Texas Transportation Talks leadership panels, Legislative Session Preview), publication of legislative agendas and funding whitepapers, and member networking. The technology footprint is effectively nil — there is no software platform, app, or proprietary technical system disclosed; the organization's technical capabilities are policy, coalition-building, and government-relations expertise rather than engineering or software. SAMCo cites $13.1 billion in additional transportation funding secured over its 24-year history, with claimed local economic impact of $39–$65 billion based on a 3x–5x multiplier on transportation capital investment. Documented legislative wins include extension of Proposition 1 funding from 2034 to 2042, passage of a $200/year EV registration fee, and reopening of the Texas Mobility Fund.

SAMCo is funded almost entirely through annual membership dues at four tiers — Patron ($5,500), Advocate ($3,300), Associate ($1,650, nonprofits only), and General ($1,100) — supplemented by event sponsorships. It maintains a three-person staff (President & CEO Victor M. Boyer, Senior Vice President Administration Leslie Terrey Harlan, Senior Executive Assistant Sandrine McCurdy). Distribution is regional and direct (enterprise/membership sales and event registration), with no consumer-facing or technology-mediated channels.

Scale indicators8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce: Regional chamber of commerce that is itself an associate member of SAMCo. Shares overlap in regional economic development and infrastructure advocacy but with broader business remit beyond transportation.
• AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials): Association representing state Departments of Transportation including TxDOT. While not an advocacy coalition itself, AASHTO is a key counterpart organization whose policy positions shape the funding environment SAMCo operates in.
• Eno Transportation Foundation: Nonprofit transportation policy organization focused on leadership development and policy research. Adjacent to SAMCo's advocacy mission, operating as a think tank/policy resource rather than regional coalition.

Broad incumbents

• ITS America (Intelligent Transportation Society of America): National membership organization advancing transportation technology and intelligent transportation systems. Comparable advocacy function to SAMCo but focused on technology-enabled transportation solutions rather than funding mechanisms.
• American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA): National trade association representing the U.S. transportation construction industry. Comparable to SAMCo in its focus on securing transportation infrastructure funding, but operates at national scope with broader industry representation rather than regional advocacy.
• Associated General Contractors of America (AGC): National trade association for the construction industry, including transportation construction. Shares SAMCo's mission of advocating for transportation infrastructure investment but serves a broader construction industry constituency nationally.

Regional players

• Texas Association of Business: Statewide Texas business advocacy organization that includes transportation infrastructure as a policy priority. Comparable advocacy function to SAMCo's legislative work but represents broader business interests across all of Texas.
• North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Transportation: Metropolitan planning organization for the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Operates comparable functions to SAMCo (advocating for regional transportation infrastructure funding) but in the DFW metroplex and as a formal MPO rather than standalone advocacy coalition.
• Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) Transportation Advocacy: Regional council of governments coordinating transportation planning for the Houston-Galveston region. Similar structural role to SAMCo (advocacy for regional transportation funding) but operating in a different Texas metro area.

Direct peers

• Transportation Advocates of Texas: Statewide transportation funding advocacy organization. SAMCo's CEO serves on TAoT's board, indicating direct interaction; both organizations pursue similar legislative funding goals but at state vs. regional level, making TAoT the most direct peer for SAMCo's advocacy mission.
