The West San José Multimodal Transportation Improvement Plan (WSJ MTIP) identifies, prioritizes, and recommends transportation projects and programs. These projects and programs make walking, rolling, biking, and taking transit in West San José safer and more enjoyable. We work with the community to create transportation solutions to access and mobility for all.
The goals of this plan are to:
Improve health and safety
Advance social equity
Encourage multimodal mobility
Support a robust economy

Chapter 1 – Introduction
We are building a holistic sustainable transportation vision for West San Jose. This section gives readers a background on how the WSJ MTIP came to be and what it aims to do (PDF).
Chapter 2 – Goals and Vision
This chapter provides an
overview of existing plans, policies, and data
(PDF) that have informed the goals of the WSJ MTIP. These goals serve as the basis for recommended projects, programs, and policies.
Chapter 3 – Recommendations
This section provides a set of
recommended projects, policies, and programs
(PDF). These elements were informed by the WSJ MTIP’s vision, goals, existing conditions analysis, and community outreach process. These recommendations will greatly advance accessibility for all drivers, walkers, rollers, bike riders, and transit users. As a whole, these recommendations will enhance transportation safety in San José.
The recommendations in this chapter are grouped into two categories:
Projects
: Recommended infrastructure improvements that are presented through a network-based approach.
Programs and Policies
: Recommended activities or strategic initiatives that we can achieve through future planning efforts.
Chapter 4 – Implementation
This chapter presents the
next steps toward the implementation of the projects and programs (PDF) identified in the WSJ MTIP. This includes strategies for sustained engagement and funding opportunities. Please review the following steps that DOT staff must take when planning, designing and constructing recommended WSJ MTIP projects, programs or policies.
The West San José project area borders Stevens Creek Boulevard, Winchester Boulevard, Newhall Street, and Bascom Avenue to the north; Park Avenue and Meridian Avenue to the east; Hamilton Avenue and San Tomas Expressway to the south; Moorpark Avenue and County Route G2 to the west.
