Rideshare Sexual Assault in San Antonio
San Antonio's River Walk and downtown entertainment district generate substantial late-night rideshare demand, with significant cross-demand from military personnel stationed at Joint Base San Antonio. The combination of nightlife, tourist volume, and a large university population creates the rideshare usage patterns associated with elevated assault risk. Texas's 5-year SOL gives survivors meaningful time to come forward, and the Rape Crisis Center of Bexar County provides 24-hour advocacy support.
