MOVE SAN JOSÉ PLAN ANNUAL UPDATE
Vulnerable users face both the perception
and the reality of unsafe streets.
Half of severe crashes involve people walking,
biking, or rolling, 11% from 2024.
Bike and pedestrian stress scores confirm:
perception = reality.
Bike Stress Pedestrian Stress Average Bike Stress Average Ped Stress 6 Bike and pedestrian safety
improvements in 2025:
14.1 miles of bikeways installed
or upgraded.
40 intersections upgraded with
enhanced safety treatments.

EV adoption is strong, but electrification
alone won’t get us to 2040 climate goals.

EV charging network expanded at a rate of
9.2%, two percentage points from 2024.
Total EV charging ports increased to nearly
2,300 ports, 16% from last year.
Daily VMT is 3% from the 2024-levels but is
still 10% since 2019.

The gap:
Bike connectivity between low-stress segments
remains low citywide.
Only 𝟐⁄𝟑 of street segments citywide support all
expected travel modes.
The bright spot:
As of October 2025, all VTA routes within San
José use TSP. TSP has saved up to ~3 minutes
on some frequent routes.
40% of jobs reachable by car in 30 minutes are
now also reachable by transit, ~3% from 2024.
Network gaps limit access and favor driving,
but Transit Signal Priority is a bright spot.
Transit Competitiveness vs. Auto

Trips of 2 miles or less is 6.5% from 2024
— a third of all trips. Discretionary trips grew
6% in line with shorter trips.
Most trips are short and flexible — but the
network doesn’t fully support them yet. Investments underway:
San José will expand its bikeshare system
by 32 stations beginning later this summer

Travel Behavior Trends
Map of Planned Projects Captured in the DSS
High-performing projects in the DSS reflect
the broadest system impact.
High-performing DSS-evaluated projects
respond to observed gaps: • High-crash, high-stress corridors — particularly for vulnerable users
• Incomplete multimodal access and high
drive-alone mode share
• East-west connectivity gaps
• First/last-mile connections
The result: A bundle of investments that
collectively impact over 20 unique KPIs across
8 of the City's 9 goal areas simultaneously.
