Regional Transportation Projects
Overview
Cupertino transportation staff participates in long range regional planning on an ongoing basis with the goal of including Cupertino in the growing regional transportation network. Some of these projects directly connect with Cupertino, while others are nearby and provide important nearby connections. If you have questions about projects listed below, please contact the transportation division traffic@cupertino.gov or visit each project's website, listed below.
Stevens Creek Corridor Vision Study
The Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor Vision Study is a collaborative multi-jurisdictional two-year project that builds on prior transportation planning initiatives to establish a unified vision for the future of the corridor. Its goal is to align the shared values and priorities across the corridor, ensuring that future transportation investments are well-coordinated across San José, Santa Clara, Cupertino, the County, and VTA.
SR 85 Transit Guideway Study
The State Route 85 Transit Guideway Study evaluated transportation alternatives of the 23.7-mile corridor that connects the cities of Mountain View and San Jose, from the State Route 85 / US 101 interchange in Mountain View to the State Route 85/US 101 interchange in South San Jose. The Study included options like Bus Rapid Transit, dedicated transit lane infrastructure, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, and variations of those options. Consensus formed around a dedicated transit lane concept, that could enable high-occupancy vehicles to pay a fee to access a transit lane in the median of the freeway, potentially offsetting the cost of a new public service in this corridor.
The VTA Board received this study and directed VTA staff to begin the next phase of development, which will include additional travel demand studies, looking deeper into potential demand from private employers in the corridor.
