VTA’s BART Silicon Valley Program Overview
VTA is extending the BART regional heavy rail system to Milpitas, San Jose, and Santa Clara. The 16-mile extension, called the BART Silicon Valley Program, will extend the BART system south of BART’s future Warm Springs/South Fremont Station in Fremont to Milpitas, San Jose, and Santa Clara. When completed, this fully grade-separated project is planned to include six stations and a new maintenance and storage facility in Santa Clara. VTA’s BART Silicon Valley Program is being delivered in two phases. The Berryessa Extension Project (Phase I) is under construction and scheduled to open in 2018, with stations in Milpitas and the Berryessa area of San Jose. The Phase II Extension Project (Phase ll) will include a 5-mile-long subway tunnel through downtown San Jose and will extend the BART system from the future Phase I terminus for approximately six miles to the City of Santa Clara. Four stations are proposed for Phase II: Alum Rock/28th Street, Downtown San Jose, Diridon, and Santa Clara.

VTA’s BART Silicon Valley Phase II Project is a six-mile, four-station extension that will bring BART train service from Berryessa/North San José through downtown San José to the City of Santa Clara. The Phase II Project will include an approximately five-mile tunnel, two mid-tunnel ventilation facilities, a maintenance facility and storage yard, three underground stations (Alum Rock/28th Street, Downtown San José, Diridon), and one ground-level station (Santa Clara). The subway tunnel will be in one large diameter tunnel. Benefits from the Phase II project include:
Fast and reliable train service that will connect BART to VTA light rail and bus, Amtrak, ACE, Caltrain, Capitol Corridor and intercity bus service.
Improving transit hubs to accommodate rail, bus, bicycle and pedestrian travel modes to improve and expand healthy and green travel options.
Partnering with the community to deliver a project that realizes the surrounding community’s vision for each station area.
