The Future of Diridon Station

Diridon Station, a key transit hub at the western edge of Downtown San José, will be expanded and redesigned to address the region's future transit needs. A collaboration among five public agencies – City of San José, Caltrain, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA), and Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) – is underway to develop a comprehensive plan for the station. This initiative aims to improve the station's integration with the surrounding area, positioning it as a catalyst for both economic and community development. The goal of the project is to increase transit capacity and service, facilitate seamless transfers, and create a safe, passenger-friendly station.

On August 14 2024, two alternatives were shared with the station’s advisory board, the Diridon Joint Policy Advisory Board (JPAB). The project team will now collect community input through various engagement activities beginning in September 2024. Feedback will then be incorporated to refine the designs with the goal of advancing one station design for environmental review starting in mid-2025.  

We invite you to join us at the Gardner Community Center on Thursday, September 12 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM to share your input on what you'd like to see for the future of Diridon Station. This open house will have lots of information about the project, stations for you to interact with, and food for those who register at Eventbrite.

Design and project updates will be available on this website. You can also sign up for our email communications here.
