The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is considering dismissing its current contractor, Kiewit Shea Traylor (KST), related to the San Jose BART extension project due to financial accountability and ongoing project delays. VTA's leadership emphasizes the need for responsible cost management, as the initial project estimates of $4 billion have ballooned to $12.75 billion, with a delayed opening now set for 2037. This decision reflects a focus on financial discipline and commitment to delivering transit solutions to Silicon Valley efficiently.
The VTA Board of Directors signed off on the contract with Kiewit Shea Traylor (KST) in May 2022. However, price negotiations for the second phase have not progressed.
VTA remains unwavering in its commitment to complete this extension of the BART service to Silicon Valley, producing these last six miles in a financially responsible manner.
