Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority
Santa Clara , CALIFORNIA
The
1990's
technology
boom
brought
Silicon
Valley
unprecedented
growth
and
commercial
success
for
businesses.
Expansive
residential
and
commercial
real
estate
development
followed...
and
with
that
came
crippling
traffic
congestion.
With
the
roadways
overloaded,
San
Jose
and
Santa
Clara
County
needed
a
way
to
quickly
expand
and
upgrade
it's
public
transportation
system
to
meet
the
demands
of
this
aggressive
development.
In response, Kinkisharyo
designed, built and delivered 100 new low-floor vehicles
for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. With
direct platform-to-train boarding and interior
bike racks, our design is a huge hit with the California commuter.
The rail lines connect commuters to the BART commuter rail and
provide park-and-ride facilities all across Silicon Valley helping
to cut commuter traffic and pollution. As always, we delivered
the cars on time and within budget. Fast, safe, environmentally
friendly transportation options like our LRV's will help keep
Santa Clara County moving in the new century.
