"Maybe you've been sitting in your car waiting to get into a parking lot at Levi's Stadium and wondered, would it have been faster to take the VTA light rail? Or even bike? We'll find out the answer this weekend thanks to the San Jose Transit Bowl, a three-way race from downtown San Jose to Levi's Stadium before the 49ers game on Sunday."
"Personally, my money's on Ballard, a former executive director of the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition. She's the only one that doesn't have to contend with exterior complications like VTA schedules and traffic, and she's already been reaching out to social media for time-saving tips from people who regularly ride to the games. Another benefit? The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition runs a bike valet at the stadium, so she won't have to worry about hunting for a parking spot."
San Jose will host a Transit Bowl: a three-way race from downtown San Jose to Levi's Stadium before the 49ers game on Sunday. Contestants include Valley Water Director Shiloh Ballard biking, Mineta Transportation Institute Executive Director Karen Philbrick taking VTA light rail, and African American Community Services Agency Executive Director Milan Balinton driving. The Guadalupe River Conservancy sponsors the event to promote the Guadalupe River Trail and biking to games, Super Bowl LX and FIFA World Cup events. The race departs Hotel De Anza at 11 a.m.; the public may cheer. Final winner is first to their seat, with stress and cost also relevant considerations.
