Traffic congestion and transit problems aren’t just annoying; they are an impediment to economic growth and increase our cost-of-living. As a result, Mayor Reed has worked to ensure that San José’s transportation infrastructure meets the need of our local residents and businesses by:
- Co-chairing the winning campaign to bring BART to Silicon Valley;
- Leading the regional effort to ensure that high-speed rail runs directly from San José to Los Angeles and San Francisco, connecting California’s tourism and economic centers;
- Securing $46 million in stimulus money for automated baggage screening systems and taxiway improvements at Mineta San José International Airport, which will help transform the facility into a world-class airport; and
- Securing more than $15 million in federal stimulus funds to repave San José’s worst streets.
