The Berryessa/North San Jose Transit-Oriented Development site is a 3.3-acre property owned by VTA adjacent to the Berryessa BART Station, located on Mabury Road and Berryessa Station Way. The site is part of the City of San José's Berryessa BART Urban Village Plan. Phase 1 of the development is a 100% affordable housing project on one acre of the site with mixed-use, market-rate housing and office development in future phases.
VTA partnered with the Santa Clara County Office of Supportive Housing for Phase 1. The Office of Supportive Housing administers the 2016 Measure A Affordable Housing Bond. This partnership encourages the development of affordable housing at the site.

Station Access Study
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) initiated a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Station Access Study to analyze multi-modal station access and circulation at the Berryessa/North San Jose Transit Center. VTA is conducting the analysis in coordination with a proposed affordable housing transit-oriented development project at Mabury Road and Berryessa Station Way.
The Station Access Study will evaluate existing conditions and future needs at the transit center while considering future development plans and projected ridership. The Study will propose recommendations to improve accessibility to the transit center and future development, including bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements, wayfinding and signage, and transit rider amenities.
Community Engagement
VTA recently completed a series of pop-up events and an online survey to determine how people access the transit center. A final report (Station Access Study) will provide proposed access improvements, travel demand management strategies, and cost estimates for the identified access improvements at the Berryessa/North San Jose Transit Center.
Community Outreach
VTA delivers outreach to the community in many ways, from email, web page posting like this, signage, tabling at events, presenting at your neighborhood association, and by mail notifications, to name a few. We use multiple approaches to ensure the community is informed and allow for authentic engagement.
