SUBJECT: Proposed Project for Third Cycle of VRF-ITS Funding ________________________________________________________________________
The proposal for the 3rd cycle of VRF-ITS funding for the VRF-ITS Stakeholders consideration is to deploy and implement a multi-jurisdictional transportation technology project on a multi-modal corridor of regional significance. This document provides details about the proposed project.
Where?
The proposed project location is along the Great Mall Parkway-Tasman Drive, Fair Oaks Avenue, and Java Drive corridors as depicted in Figure 1 by the orange line between I-880 in Milpitas and Mathilda Avenue in Sunnyvale (limits are depicted by the red bars).

7 The proposed project also includes a spur along the North First Street corridor including three intersections at N. First Street/Orchard Parkway, N. First Street/Montague Expressway, and N. First Street/River Oaks Parkway. The N. First Street spur is a congested corridor with the Montague Expressway/N. First Street intersection being a linchpin that affects the Expressway, N. First Street (the cross street, and light rail operations on the cross street. VTA, City of San Jose, and the County of Santa Clara have worked over numerous years at this location to balance operations for all modes and the current project will help address these challenges.
Why?
The proposed corridor between I-880 and Mathilda Avenue and N. First Street is a multimodal corridor of regional significance for a multitude of reasons as described below.
Major Commuter Routes
The corridor is both an AM and PM commute routes of regional significance for the following reasons:
Connects multiple local agencies including four cities (Milpitas, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale) and the County of Santa Clara
Serves residents within the county providing access to large residential areas on the eastern end (cities of Milpitas and San Jose) and to access large employment centers of the corridor along N. First Street, Great America Parkway, and Moffett Park on the western end (cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale)
Serves commuters external to Santa Clara County from Alameda County and beyond who use I-880 and I-680 via Tasman Road and Montague Expressway to access this corridor Serves major event centers including the Levi s Stadium and Santa Clara Convention Center The congestion on the corridor is highly directional depending on the peak periods. The westbound and northbound directions are the primary commute directions during the AM peak periods while the eastbound and southbound directions are the primary commute directions during the PM peak periods.
Major Transit Route
VTA operates light rail on this corridor with frequent service (headway between trains being less than 15 minutes). The transit (light rail) corridor also includes the two light rail stations with well over 800 weekday passengers, which are the Great Mall Station on the far eastern end and Mountain View on the far western end. The ridership on this segment of the light rail corridor is expected to grow with the connection to the Milpitas BART station.
Major Bicycle Route
The VTA Bikeways Map includes this corridor and designates it as a bike route of regional significance. Approximately two-thirds of the project corridor have bicycle lanes on the roadway and the remaining one-third on the western end of the project has mainly shared roadway facilities. Based on field observations and the Strava Heat Map (a website of aggregated Strava (a physical activity tracking app) data over the past two years) shows moderate to high use activity on the segment with bike lanes and heaviest usage on the segment with mostly shared roadway facilities. Like the vehicular traffic, bike commuters are traveling between residences on the eastern end within the City of Milpitas and the large employment centers along N. First Street, Great America Parkway, and Moffett Park at the western end of the corridor.
How?
The purpose of the project is to deploy and implement a multi-jurisdictional transportation technology project on a multi-modal corridor of regional significance that improves traffic operations for all modes (regular vehicles, transit vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians).

users'
8 technological approaches to meet the purpose is based on available information on existing traffic signal equipment in the corridor, and recent discussions with City staff on the needs. The key components of the project are as follows:
Updating traffic signal controller software to meet or exceed to V Signal Controller guidance document to ensure interoperability among the traffic signal controller operators along the corridor, promote seamless operations across jurisdictional lines, and provide for multi-modal functions to accommodate transit, bicycles, and pedestrians.
Enhancing the local agenc s traffic management center (TMC) software to provide enhanced performance monitoring capabilities and functions to support the movement of all modes.
Updating traffic signal timing plans to improve the flow of vehicular traffic and transit on the corridor.
Accelerating the deployment of a more reliable detection technology with greater flexibility in the placement of the detection zone to trigger service calls for transit signal priority (TSP).
The reliability of this detection has been a source of delay to both commuters and transit. The project will also include TSP interconnection equipment between two different local agencies operating different traffic signal systems and upgrading aging TSP interconnection equipment which is no longer manufactured.
The proposal and cost are summarized in Table 1 and shows the quantities of each above-described element. The all-inclusive cost (e.g., materials, construction, agency labor, and contingency) is $1.5 million.
When?
If the VRF-ITS Stakeholders have no objections to this proposal, the next steps may require VTA staff to take the proposal through the Board of Directors, VTA staff estimates that the duration of the project would be approximately 18 to 24 months. The estimated duration assumes to execute the needed funding agreements within six months or less.
