UPDATE: Bus service will begin Friday morning, March 28. Please check the route schedules and Transit App for service notices. Light rail service may take a few more days to begin, as the system must be inspected for safety.
Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Daniel Nishigaya has granted an injunction ordering striking VTA employees back to work. The judge issued the order after hearing arguments from lawyers representing VTA and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local (ATU) 265 in court on Wednesday, March 26,2025.
The ruling will return affordable transportation to tens of thousands of people in Santa Clara County who rely on it to get to jobs, school and other important destinations. It will get our employees back to work after they've been without paychecks for more than two weeks.
We hope this ruling will encourage ATU to return to the bargaining table with a proposal that will resolve the contract conflict.
VTA is making plans to get light rail and bus service running as soon as possible. Please check back at this website and VTA social media platforms for more information as it becomes available.
