East San Jose Community Based Transportation Plan (CBTP)

In April 2008, the VTA through funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) initiated a Community Based Transportation Plan focused on the transportation needs of East San Jose, one of the areas selected by MTC to be studied through its Community Based Transportation Planning Program.

Study Objective and Approach

The VTA, initiated this important study to collaboratively work with the East San Jose  community to develop a community based transportation plan.  By working together with the community, this plan will identify specific projects that the East San Jose community thinks are most needed.

The next step will be for the VTA to identify current and future funding sources to potentially finance these projects.  The resulting East San Jose Community Based Transportation Plan will be an essential tool for helping the VTA and community proactively pursue projects when funding becomes available.  Projects included in the final plan could address important issues such as:

• Connections to buses and trains
• More bicycle or walking paths
• Safer streets and intersections
• Protection from bad weather through improved bus shelters

Get Involved!

The success of the East San Jose Community Based Transportation Plan depends on input from people in neighborhoods throughout East San Jose.  

We are scheduling focus group meetings in September to find out what specific challenges you face in your daily travels and what you think might help solve these challenges.  There are a variety of ways for you to get involved:

• Attend a focus group meeting
• Take our survey 
• Set up a briefing for your organization
• Call or e-mail and share your thoughts

Tell us what you think! Complete our survey!

To better understand your interests and concerns about transportation in East San Jose, we’ve developed a confidential survey and will be gathering results from community members throughout the summer and fall.  Please complete the ESJ transportation survey to help us identify what projects you think are most needed.

Study Schedule

VTA staff began the study in April 2008 and is scheduled to release the final East San Jose Community Based Transportation Plan at the end of December 2008.
