State Route 85 Transit Guideway Study

The State Route 85 Transit Guideway Study evaluates transportation alternatives of the 23.7-mile corridor that connects the cities of Mountain View and San Jose, from the State Route 85 / US 101 interchange in Mountain View to the State Route 85/US 101 interchange in South San Jose. Study alternatives will include Bus Rapid Transit service and infrastructure, Light Rail Transit, and possible future transportation technologies or other options.
 
The State Route 85 Transit Guideway Study will be conducted by VTA staff under the direction of the State Route 85 Policy Advisory Board. The advisory board will be instrumental in identifying the alternatives that will be analyzed and ultimately making a recommendation to VTA’s Board of Directors about how to proceed with a transit improvement plan along the State Route 85 corridor.
