Santa Clara Station Area Plan Project
The City of Santa Clara, City of San José, and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) are working together on a plan for the area around the Santa Clara Transit Center. A historic landmark in Santa Clara, the Transit Center is currently served by Caltrain, Altamont Commuter Express (ACE), and VTA bus lines. Additionally, future plans call for an Automated People Mover (APM) system that would connect Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport with both the Transit Center and VTA’s Metro/Airport light rail station. Finally, a major effort is currently underway to extend BART from Fremont to Silicon Valley, with the Santa Clara Transit Center forming the terminus of this extension. With direct rail service to virtually all parts of the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, the Transit Center will emerge as a key intermodal hub in the region.
The project Planning Area encompasses 432 acres of land in the cities of San José and Santa Clara. The Plan will lay the foundation for the development and revitalization of this Planning Area, ensuring a dynamic social and economic environment by cultivating a wide spectrum of uses, including housing, live/work units, shops, and restaurants. The confluence of these activities in proximity to a user-friendly transit hub fosters a thriving environment for residents and visitors to live, work, play, and travel with ease. Additionally, enhanced transit service and linkages will provide convenient connections to surrounding neighborhoods and institutions, such as Santa Clara University.
