For several years, El Paso Transportation Authority (ETA) has sought to expand and enhance transportation services for all in El Paso County beyond the City of El Paso transit provider’s (Sun Metro) service area. This has included operating fixed-route services (ETA paseo), Americans with Disabilities Act complementary paratransit service (ETA access), on-demand microtransit service (ETA ándale), and a vanpool program (Vámonos). Detailed information about ETA transit services is available at https://etaelpaso.gov/.
ETA is working to right-size the transit system to prepare for future growth with new funding sources and, as a result, ETA has identified transit service changes that will go into effect on Sunday, October 4, 2026. ETA retained the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) to assist in developing the planned service modifications. The planned service modifications were presented, discussed, and approved at ETA’s board of directors meeting on September 2, 2026.

A recording of the September 2, 2026, board meeting at which the service modifications were presented, discussed, and approved will be posted on ETA’s YouTube channel when available. The minutes of the board meeting will be posted on ETA’s web site when available.
