San Antonio City Council Committee Votes to Phase Out Horse-Drawn Carriages

SAN ANTONIO – A city council committee wants the carriage to come without the horse on San Antonio streets.

The five-member Transportation and Infrastructure Committee voted unanimously Monday for city staff to devise options on how to phase out horse-drawn carriages within one to three years. Staff’s presentation to the full council will happen at a non-voting discussion session by the end of October.

The decision came after an online city survey got nearly 50,500 responses, with 52% supporting a ban. The other 48% were split between keeping the carriages operating as they are, expanding them outside of downtown, or moving them to city parks.

Councilman Jalen McKee-Rodriguez (D2), who co-sponsored the original ban proposal in November 2022, asked that the phase-out plan include options to support acquiring electric, “horseless” carriages.
