Project Overview

The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to Silicon Valley Project consists of an extension of the existing BART regional heavy rail system to Milpitas, San Jose and Santa Clara. The BART Extension to Silicon Valley will extend over 16 miles along the existing Union Pacific Railroad alignment south of the planned BART Warm Springs Station in Fremont. When completed, this fully grade-separated project will include: six stations – one in Milpitas, four in San Jose and one in Santa Clara; a 5-mile tunnel in downtown San Jose; and a new maintenance and storage facility in Santa Clara.

  • Over 90,000 daily riders 
  • BART trains arrive every 6 minutes
  • Fully grade separated (tracks separated from roads)
  • Intermodal connections to VTA light rail & buses, Caltrain, ACE, Capitol Corridor, future Automated People Mover and High Speed Rail
  • Serves San Jose State University, HP Pavilion, Santa Clara University, Mineta SJ International Airport and other major employment, education and shopping centers throughout the county
