| Description |
California's Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) currently operates a 30.5-mile, multi-route light rail transit (LRT) system extending from south San Jose through downtown to the northern areas of San Jose, Santa Clara, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale. Service has been operating 24 hours, every 15 minutes during much of the day, and the system carries about 22,500 riders on an average weekday.
[VTA 2003/05/05]
There are 45 convenient stops along the system, including residential areas of South San Jose, Downtown San Jose, San Jose Civic Center, North First Street high-tech area, Paramount's Great America theme park, Tasman Drive high-tech and residential areas, Lockheed Martin, Middlefield Road industrial areas, and Downtown Mountain View. Schedule speed, end-to-end from Santa Teresa to Baypointe, is, for a system routed mainly in street and highway right-of-way, fairly high at approximately 20 mph – and that includes the slow-running segment through San Jose's CBD, with a maximum speed of 10 mph. Schedule speed for the southern segment, from Santa Teresa to the CBD, is even higher, at about 24 mph.
