Total program cost: $4,185 million
Total Cost for Phase 1: $1,899 million
Temporary terminal construction started in December 2008 .
Demolition of original bus terminal is completed and the project began operating at the temporary site as of August 2010.
Phase 1 substantial completion is expected in October 2017.
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 is composed of 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:
- Replacing the outdated Transbay Terminal with a modern transit hub
- Extending the Caltrain rail line from its current terminus 1.3 miles and into the heart of the Financial District, including a provision for future high-speed rail (Caltrain Downtown Extension Program)
- Redeveloping the area surrounding the Transbay Transit Center with 2,600 new homes (35% affordable), parks, and a retail main street
The project is being developed in two phases. Phase 1 includes the Transit Center building and the below-grade rail levels. Phase 2 includes the Caltrain Downtown Extension Program.
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.
Phase 1 only. Funding for Phase 2 is still being secured.
