VTA’s BART Silicon Valley Extension
VTA’s Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Silicon Valley Extension is a 16-mile extension of the existing BART system to San Jose, Milpitas
and Santa Clara, which will be delivered through a phased approach. The first phase, the Berryessa Extension, is a 10-mile,
two-station extension, beginning in Fremont south of the future BART Warm Springs Station and proceeding in the former Union
Pacific Railroad right-of-way through Milpitas, the location of the first station, and then to the Berryessa area of north San Jose, at the
second station. VTA continues project development activities for the second 6-mile phase of the project that includes a 5.1 mile-long
subway tunnel through downtown San Jose, ending at grade in Santa Clara near the Caltrain Station. Construction on the second
phase of the project will commence as additional funding is secured.
