This week in Santa Clara County transit, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is actively preparing for upcoming board meetings, including one on May 7, where key agenda items will be discussed. Recent VTA activity highlighted a spending plan tied to a possible Bay Area regional sales tax increase, aimed at funding projects to improve transit options and reduce car dependency across the county. VTA continues to balance its role operating the regional transit system while advancing affordable housing projects near transit stations. Key points from recent and upcoming activity: - VTA Board of Directors meetings scheduled for May 7, 12, 13, and 14 will address ongoing transit operations and planning. - VTA has promoted a spending plan contingent on voter approval of a regional sales tax increase this November. - Ten active VTA projects are underway, focusing on transit improvements and transit-oriented affordable housing development. - Recent meetings included updates on deferred compensation plans and audit results related to Measure B funds. - The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors held discussions relevant to countywide infrastructure but did not focus on transit this week. What to watch: The May 7 VTA Board meeting will be important for updates on transit funding strategies and project priorities tied to the potential sales tax measure.
