We invite you to play an active role in shaping this vision.The process involves developing a Station Area Plan around Diridon Station with related transit and station-area planning activities, and includes environmental clearance under the CaliforniaEnvironmental Quality Act (CEQA). Diridon Station, already a major transit hub, with its locationalong the Union Pacific/Caltrain/Amtrak/Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) rail corridors, willbecome one of the busiest multimodal stations in California as astation of the proposed BARTextension to Silicon Valley and the California High Speed Rail corridor (HSR) to San Francisco and Los Angeles.The Diridon Station Area Plan will provide a vision and guidancefor this unique destination with abroad mix of transit-supportive uses.
