Description |
TJPA was created in 2001 as a collaboration of Bay Area government and transportation agencies to design, build, operate, and maintain the new Transbay Transit Center, which will replace the existing Transbay Terminal that serves local, regional, and intercity bus transit. Its Board of Directors comprises representatives from the City and County of San Francisco, including the San Francisco Municipal Railway (MUNI), the Office of the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors; the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit); and the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board-Caltrain, composed of the City and County of San Francisco, the San Mateo County Transit District, and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. The Transbay Transit Center Project will replace the Transbay Terminal with a new multi-modal transportation center and centralize the region's transportation network by accommodating nine transportation systems under one roof. The project consists of three components:
The project is being developed in two phases. Phase 1 includes the Transit Center building and will also include the Caltrain extension rail foundation for Phase 2, pending receipt of applied for grant funds. Phase 2 includes the remaining rail component. A Temporary Terminal serves existing bus passengers - AC Transit, WestCAT, MUNI, Golden Gate Transit, SamTrans, and Greyhound - while the new transit center is under construction. |
