Bridges 

The conditions of Santa Clara County bridges and overcrossings were retrieved from the Federal Highway Administration National Bridge Inventory (NBI) website at National Bridge Inventory - Management and Preservation - Bridges & Structures - Federal Highway Administration (dot.gov). The raw data was aggregated and summarized by “good”, “fair”, and “poor” condition indicators. 

Roadside Assets 

The data was obtained from responses to the 2025 Roadside Assets Condition Self-Assessment Surveys completed by VTA’s member agency local jurisdictions.

Transit 

Statistics on transit ridership were obtained from American Public Transportation Association (APTA) Fourth Quarter 2024 Report for Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.

Roadway Lane Miles Maintained and Repaired/Repaved

The data was obtained from responses to the 2025 Roadside Assets Condition Self-Assessment Surveys completed by VTA’s member agency local jurisdictions. 

Bus 

The data for VTA’s bus fleet was obtained from an internal document, “VTA Facts, Current Bus System Data, 2025” produced by VTA’s Transit Operations Analysis and Reporting Department. The bus fleet includes all the following bus types: 30 foot (38), 40 ft hybrid (264), 40 ft standard (24), artic 60 foot (75), express (40), and electric (0). Bus route mileage is reported as the total round trip. 

Light Rail

The data for VTA’s light rail fleet was obtained from an internal document, “VTA Facts, Current Bus System Data, 2025” produced by VTA’s Transit Operations Analysis and Reporting Department. In addition to the fleet of 98 standard vehicles, there are also 4 historic trollies that operate during the Christmas holiday season. Route miles define the extent of the operational network and represent the total extent of routes available for trains to operate. Track miles take into account multiple track routes (e.g. for each route mile where there is double track, there are two track miles; where there are four tracks, there are four track miles).
