Implemented with a phased construction approach, the planned 16-mile long BART Silicon Valley Extension will bolster the existing rapid transit system in Silicon Valley.
Phase I of the extension includes a ten-mile stretch with two stations. Currently under construction, the section is expected to open this year.
Phase II of the extension involves the remaining six-mile four-station section, which extends south into the cities of San José and Santa Clara.
Once completed, BART will operate and maintain the extension.
