The state has awarded $375 million to a Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority project extending BART another 6 miles and four stations into downtown San Jose and Santa Clara.
The award brings the state backing of the project up to $1.125 billion, according to an announcement from the VTA.
"This award brings VTA $375 million closer to securing a historic federal investment in Silicon Valley mobility," VTA general manager and CEO Carolyn Gonot said in the announcement. "I look forward to working with our state and federal partners to secure the remaining resources needed to fulfill the immense promise of this once-in-a-generation infrastructure investment," said San Jose Mayor and VTA board member Matt Mahan.
