California Senate Bill 63
The Bay Area is home to 7.7 million residents and transit agencies like Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) keep our region moving. To ensure that transit agencies can sustain and expand bus and rail service – in addition to provide funding for road maintenance on transit corridors – Bay Area Counties have joined together to propose a 5-county regional transportation sales tax measure.
In Santa Clara County, VTA provides sustainable, accessible, community-focused transportation options that are innovative, environmentally responsible, and promote the vitality of our region.
For more than 30 years, VTA has delivered projects large and small, and been entrusted by residents with multiple sales tax measures for transportation. VTA has demonstrated strong stewardship of taxpayer dollars by delivering practical transportation improvements that maximize existing infrastructure, including the US 101/SR 25 Interchange Project; Capitol Expressway Express Lanes Project; and the Berryessa Transit Center.
If this half-cent Citizen’s initiative passes, it will increase ridership, enhance the customer experience, and provide roadway upgrades. Community-driven efforts including VTA’s Visionary Network, Speed and Reliability Program, Valley Transportation Plan 2050 and other planning efforts have helped create the roadmap of transit priorities for Santa Clara County.
VTA is focused on three primary outcomes:
- Grow our ridership
- Increase productivity
- Enhance the customer experience
The local investment plan's strategic areas will help leverage VTA's expertise and data to drive decision making, modernize our business model and improve our service delivery, and adopt new technologies as well as form strategic partnerships to futureproof VTA's transit system.
Learn about this initiative and take part in the public engagement process to share your thoughts on how these potential revenues can be prioritized to deliver a better transit experience. Participate in one of three upcoming community meetings, or send feedback to investment.plan@vta.org
