The Project is to identify a preferred alignment and design for a continuous, connected, low-stress bicycle superhighway between Santa Clara, CA and East San Jose, CA. In doing so, VTA seeks to meet the following supporting objectives:

1. Meaningfully involve communities and especially members of disadvantaged communities in developing preferred alignment and design for the corridor.
2. Build on, support, and advance other agencies’ transportation and land use plans in the corridor, while addressing conflicts between plans.
3. Incorporate innovative, creative solutions to design a bikeway that is not just functional, but a joy to ride on.
4. Identify short and long-term solutions, funding strategies, and an implementation plan so the project can continue to advance after the study has been completed.
