The San Antonio Mobility Coalition by-laws were developed with two thoughts in mind:

1) Harnessing the private sector’s ingenuity and entrepreneurship in dealing with community mobility issues;

2).Providing for program continuity and legitimacy through the active involvement of public sector mobility agencies and their respective leadership. The by-laws were developed with an eye toward creating a public/private partnership committed to enhancing mobility issues and benefiting the community.

When SAMCo was first being considered, there were a few similarly organized transportation groups in Austin and the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. At the time, the Austin model was 100% private sector based and the Metroplex model was 100% public sector based. In evaluating the two, both the advantages and disadvantages of each became evident. Rather than embracing one over the other, a hybrid of the two seemed the most reasonable. The by-laws established a board of directors and an executive committee.
