VTA is bringing BART into the heart of Santa Clara Valley.

Curious about which future station will be the most convenient for you? What might be built near station areas? Or what are transit oriented communities? VTA is hosting a series of public meetings where you can learn about VTA’s BART Phase II project, which will extend BART service through downtown San Jose and into Santa Clara and ring the bay with rail.

VTA staff will give overviews of the project, focusing on the stations, general project and construction information, and what makes a transit-oriented community. The Phase II project has already catalyzed economic development near future station areas and when in operation, BART expects to serve 52,000 daily riders by the year 2035. We want the community to hear all about it.

All are welcome to come learn about: 
• General project overview
• Stations and other facilities 
• Transit-oriented communities 
• Community engagement and how to stay involved

Choose your location and date:
• April 24, 6-8 pm: Dr Martin Luther King Jr Library Works Room, San Jose 
• April 25, 6-8 pm: Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, San Jose
• May 11, 10 am-12pm: Buchser Middle School, Santa Clara

Take transit to the meeting! Specific route information is available when you choose your location and date.

Join us in our annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Farmers Market!

Join VTA and BART for a transit oriented development (TOD) workshop.

The purpose of the TOD/Access Study, which focuses on the three future BART stations (Alum Rock/28th Street, Downtown San Jose, and Santa Clara), is to identify strategies to overcome barriers and constraints in existing plans, policies, and funding that inhibit TOD in Santa Clara County.

The TOD/Access Study builds upon existing community plans, transportation and land use strategies, and provides analysis to inform future TOD policy adoption and implementation, including land use, development, and transportation mobility. The TOD/Access Study also complements the Diridon Station Area Plan update and the Diridon Integrated Station Concept Plan process being done in parallel.

On April 16th through April 18th, VTA will be holding TOD/ Access Study Workshops. The purpose of these workshops is to share with the community the draft strategies that have been developed for each station area and to receive community input on these strategies. We invite you to join us for these workshops!

Please share this information to anyone who might be interested in transit-oriented development in your station area and encourage them to attend the workshops, which take place immediately following the Community Working Group meetings.
