Update 8/30/2024 - REVISIONS TO THE PLAN:
Following community engagement on the draft plan, staff have revised the plan and will presenting the revised plan for VTA Board of Directors adoption at their October 3, 2024 meeting.
Revisions have been made to proposals for the following routes: Route 25, 44, 47, 87, 89, 287. The proposals for all other routes remain unchanged.


Not all routes have service changes proposed for next year.

Some routes have yet to reach full service in 2024, but do not have proposed service changes in 2025. These routes are therefore not listed in the tables below.

Some routes have changes that were adopted in the 2024 Transit Service Plan, but are not yet in service. Those changes are proposed to be postponed for the next annual service plan.

The routes with changes proposed for postponement are: Routes 20, 22, 31, 42, 51, 52, 53, 57, 61, 87, 523.
