Rail Stations and Platforms

Overview: This GIS data is part of the overall “Major Transit Stops and High-Quality Transit Corridors” data set which VTA has developed to show the locations of these features (which are defined in State law) in Santa Clara County. These GIS layers are intended to be a reference for local jurisdiction staff, consultants, developers, and members of the public in Santa Clara County. This information may be helpful in interpreting various State land use, housing and transportation laws that refer to these terms. USE OF THIS DATA IS SUBJECT TO THE DISCLAIMER AND TERMS OF USE POSTED IN THE ‘CUSTOM LICENSE’ SECTION OF THIS PAGE. Descriptions of the individual layers in this data set are provided on the Data Catalog pages for each layer. VTA has developed a How-To Guide that provides more detail on the GIS layers as well as the assumptions and judgement calls involved in developing this data. This How-To Guide is available upon request by emailing [e-mail]. The bus stop locations in this data set are current as of January 2025. The VTA bus service / schedule information is current as of October 2025. Layer Grouping – Rail Stations and Platforms (Currently Active on Weekdays): Overview of Layers in this Layer Grouping: Within this layer grouping, there are two GIS layers, named SCC Rail Stations and VTA Light Rail Platforms. SCC Rail Stations is a layer that shows all rail stations in Santa Clara County that are served by at least one round trip per day on weekdays. This includes rail stations in service as of October 2025. The set of stations in Santa Clara County is not anticipated to change until 2028 when two stations will be added with the opening of the Eastridge-to-BART Regional Connector (EBRC) light rail extension. VTA Light Rail Platforms is a layer that contains polygons for each VTA light rail platform. These platform locations were used to determine where to place the single point for each VTA light rail station in the SCC Rail Stations layer – the points were placed at the geographic centroid of the minimum bounding rectangle between the platforms. Note that at the three light rail stations in the Downtown San Jose Transit Mall (St. James, Santa Clara, and Paseo de San Antonio), the geographic centroid is located mid-block between First Street and Second Street.概述：本地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）数据集隶属于圣克拉拉谷交通局（Valley Transportation Authority, VTA）开发的「主要公交站点与高品质公交走廊」整体数据集，用于展示加州法律定义的上述设施在圣克拉拉县的分布位置。本GIS图层旨在为圣克拉拉县的地方政府工作人员、咨询机构、开发商及社会公众提供参考依据，可辅助解读各类提及上述术语的加州土地使用、住房与交通相关法律法规。使用本数据集需遵守本页面「定制许可」板块中发布的免责声明与使用条款。 本数据集各单个图层的详细说明详见各图层对应的数据目录页面。VTA还编制了操作指南，对本GIS图层的细节以及数据开发过程中涉及的假设前提与决策依据进行了全面阐释。如需获取该操作指南，可发送邮件至[e-mail]进行申请。本数据集收录的公交站点位置信息更新至2025年1月，VTA公交服务与时刻表信息更新至2025年10月。 图层分组——工作日当前运营的火车站与站台： 本图层分组的图层概述：本分组包含两个GIS图层，分别为「圣克拉拉县火车站（SCC Rail Stations）」与「VTA轻轨站台（VTA Light Rail Platforms）」。 「圣克拉拉县火车站」图层展示了圣克拉拉县内所有工作日每日至少开行一对往返班次的火车站，涵盖截至2025年10月仍在运营的全部车站。预计至2028年东谷至湾区捷运（Bay Area Rapid Transit, BART）区域连接线（Eastridge-to-BART Regional Connector, EBRC）轻轨延伸线开通时，本县将新增两座火车站，在此之前车站数量不会发生变动。 「VTA轻轨站台」图层包含每个VTA轻轨站台的面状要素。该站台位置数据用于确定「圣克拉拉县火车站」图层中每个VTA轻轨站点的单点坐标：坐标点位设置于各站台最小外接矩形的地理质心。需注意，圣何塞市中心公交枢纽内的三座轻轨车站（圣詹姆斯站、圣克拉拉站与帕塞奥德圣安东尼奥站）的地理质心位于第一街与第二街之间的街区中部。
