Silicon Valley's NEW Airport

The crown jewel of San Jose’s transportation network is the Mineta San Jose International Airport, which serves approximately 27,000 passengers daily. The Bay Area’s most convenient and efficient airport is served by 12 major airlines, with direct flights to 30 cities and service to more than 180 destinations.

Mineta San Jose International Airport is the ideal gateway for business travelers. The airport is conveniently located just minutes from two of Silicon Valley’s largest business areas: Downtown San Jose and the North San Jose Innovation Triangle. Flights to/from San Jose are on time more than 84% of the time, and experience fewer and shorter delays than flights to/from San Francisco (see right).^[1] And with the completion of a $1.3 billion modernization project, our airport offers business-friendly amenities like free wi-fi service and electrical outlets built into the armrests of chairs.

Convenient & Efficient Public Transit

San Jose serves as a major regional hub for a wide variety of public transit options. Three major rail lines offer fast and convenient service from Diridon Station in Downtown San Jose to destinations across the Bay Area (serving approximately 40,000 riders every weekday).

• CalTrain: Serving 33 stations between San Francisco and Gilroy
• Capitol Corridor (Amtrak): Serving 16 stations between San Jose and Sacramento
• Altamont Commuter Express: Serving 10 stations between San Jose and Stockton

Within Santa Clara County, commuters can take advantage of the Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) two light rail lines (serving 62 stations over 42 miles) and 73 bus routes that collectively serve 144,000 average weekday riders. There are also plans to connect San Jose with the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, which carries passengers up the East Bay, as well as California’s proposed High-Speed Rail system.

An Inter-Connected Network of Roadways

Close to a dozen regional freeways and highways also converge in San Jose, making almost every corner of the Bay Area accessible within an hour’s drive. With an abundant network of expressways and thoroughfares, it is also possible to travel across San Jose (and most neighboring Santa Clara County cities) in a matter of minutes. And with easy connections to major federal highways, there are direct routes to the state’s other major hubs, including Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego.
