VTA’s Super Bowl LX Service Plans

We now know how local public transit will serve Super Bowl LX. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) held a press conference January 27 highlighting how buses and particularly light rail will serve Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara on Sunday, February 8.

In the press conference, you will hear from Carolyn Gonot, VTA’s Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, about special VTA light rail service and fares for Super Bowl LX attendees. For instance, on game day, use of Great America light rail stop for those coming from Mountain View; and Lick Mill station for those coming from Milpitas BART, San Jose, and Winchester stations. All light rail service on game day will consist of 3-car trains carrying up to 450 riders each, per the press conference.

Also speaking at the press conference: Ashton T. Greene, VTA’s Chief Safety and Security Officer, on VTA’s service plans for Super Bowl LX. This in addition to two other VTA staff members speaking at the press conference.

More info regarding Super Bowl LX in the San Jose area from us is being made ready for next week. Stay tuned.
