Transbay’s Downtown Rail Extension
Abstract
The existing Transbay Terminal, which opened in downtown San Francisco in 1939 is dilapidated, antiquated, resides in an area of urban blight, and meets neither current seismic safety standards nor the transportation needs of the Bay Area. In 1999, San Francisco voters approved Proposition H, which proposed a new or rebuilt regional transit centre at the site of the existing terminal and also to extend the Caltrain commuter rail service to the new transit centre. The Transbay Transit Centre Program consists of two projects; the Transit Centre Terminal Building (TTC) and the Caltrain Downtown Extension (DTX) and is being administered by the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA).
