Possible California High-Speed Rail and Future BART Service
The San Jose Diridon station is planned as a future station for the California High-Speed Rail and second phase of BART extension in Santa Clara County. BART is planned to be in a subway station adjacent to the train station and Santa Clara Street. The high-speed rail track and platform locations have not been determined yet. The BART line will lay between the Santa Clara and Downtown San Jose BART stations with direct service to Santa Clara, San Francisco and Richmond.
If these plans are completed, Diridon Station would offer connections between Caltrain, high-speed rail, Amtrak's Capitol Corridor and Coast Starlight lines, ACE, and VTA light rail and buses, and BART.
The City of San Jose has brought in the Harvard University Graduate School of Design to assist in considering transportation and urban planning issues surrounding such a large-scale transit hub. The group will be led by a professor with experience directing urban planning projects in Dubai, Moscow, Budapest, Seoul, Buenos Aires and Bilbao. The results of 12 graduate student studies will be made available to the city for inclusion in its official planning process for the expansion of the Diridon Station and surroundings.
