What is Connect North San José?

Connect North San José is an effort to create a Multimodal Transportation Improvement Plan (MTIP). The Department of Transportation (DOT) values community opinions and intends to focus on them in the plan. This process began in January 2024 and is expected to continue until mid-2025. The final plan will include transportation projects, guidelines, and programs that will aim to make North San José safer and easier to get around.

North San José is the economic engine of our City. It is home to many influential companies, local businesses, and non-profit service organizations. The languages spoken there are primarily English, Chinese, Spanish, French, and Korean. In 2050, North San José will be home to nearly double the people who live there now, and it will have 40% more jobs (Plan Bay Area 2050). Growth in Alviso, downtown, and other close-by cities will have additional impact on the ease of getting around. The rise in population increases the need to make North San José a more accessible and safe place. This plan aims to create a more connected area by building better connections to light rail, BART, the Guadalupe River Trail, and the Coyote Creek Trail.
