The VTA, like all transit agencies nationwide, has acknowledged that it is experiencing significant challenges attracting new bus drivers.

The VTA this week gave no new date for a resumption of service suspended since the May 26 mass killing at the VTA rail yards in San Jose.

Beginning next Monday, June 14, VTA will operate a new weekday peak hour shuttle between the Diridon Station and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, designed to meet Caltrain, Altamont Corridor Express and bus services at Diridon Station.

All VTA light rail routes continue to be suspended “until further notice” as mass shooting investigation continues.

The shift to yellow tier opens light rail and buses to more travelers, who must still wear masks and stay 3 feet apart beginning May 26.

If given the green light in a special meeting Friday, Gonot's first day, complete with a $350,000 base salary, would be July 12.

Perhaps more than any other part of the country, California stands to benefit from the $2.2 trillion proposal by Joe Biden.
