LIVE OAK, Texas – VIA will extend its VIA Link service to Northeast Lakeview College in August, an expansion approval aiming to bring more transit options to other areas, a Wednesday news release said.
The decision came Tuesday after VIA’s board of trustees unanimously approved the expanded service option.

The City of Live Oak is de-annexing part of the campus so that the VIA Link service can begin transporting students, faculty, and staff on Monday, Aug. 19, the release said.
Live Oak is not one of the 14 member cities within VIA’s service area, and the college was the only one from the Alamo Colleges District outside the service area.
VIA customers will be able to travel between the college and the Randolph and Naco Pass VIA Link zones. The campus will have two drop-off/pick-up locations at Paluxy Hall and Kruse Circle, respectively.
Those locations and their service hours are:
- VIA Link Randolph: 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily
- VIA Link Naco Pass (Northeast zone): 5 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily
VIA Link trips can be booked through the VIA Link app, online at VIAinfo.net/Link, or by phone at (210) 655-Link [5465].
Each van can seat up to five passengers and accommodate individuals with mobility impairments. Vehicles with a bike rack can be requested during trip booking.
