The Hercules Hub is a regional, state-of-
the-art housing and transportation
development. It will connect thousands of
housing units with a new train stop along
the Capitol Corridor, bicycle and pedestrian
pathways, bus routes, carpool options, and
potential future ferry service.
The Hub has all the components of the
ideal regional housing and transit center. It
will be a model for successful transit-
oriented communities throughout the Bay
Area.
