The North Central County Bus Improvement Plan aims to enhance north/south bus service in response to community requests, particularly due to development in Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and Cupertino. VTA has engaged a consultant and conducted workshops to evaluate current transit service and develop improvement concepts. The plan includes quarterly service changes starting July 2015, with continued analysis and community input to finalize improvements.
