Transbay Transit Center Project:
The New Transbay Terminal in San Francisco

The Transbay Transit Center Project is a visionary transportation and housing project that transforms downtown San Francisco by creating a “Grand Central Station of the West” in the heart of a new transit-friendly neighborhood. The $4 billion project will replace the current Transbay Terminal at First and Mission streets in San Francisco with a modern regional transit hub connecting eight Bay Area counties and the State of California through twelve transit systems: AC Transit, BART, Caltrain, Golden Gate Transit, Greyhound, MUNI, MUNI Metro, ParaTransit, SamTrans, WestCAT Lynx, Amtrak and future high speed rail from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

The project also includes the development of one of the largest transit-oriented neighborhoods west of New York City, consisting of a unique, 40-acre urban community with 2,600 new residential units.

Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects (PCPA), the new Transit Center will feature a 5.4 acre park on the roof of the bus and rail station. The project is expected to begin construction in August with the demolition of the existing facility.

Maria Ayerdi-Kaplan, Executive Director of the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) and a former TJPA Board Member is responsible for the design, construction and operation of the Transbay Transit Center Project. She is a member of the State Bar of California, has served as the Mayor of San Francisco's Transportation Policy Advisor and Project Director, the Vice-Chair on the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, Deputy Director at the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and on the Executive Committee of the Association of Bay Area Governments.

Randolph Volenec, Senior Project Manager with PCPA is responsible for the overall coordination and management of the 24 consultant teams on the project and acts as liaison between the Design Team and the TJPA and various stakeholders that will utilize the Center.

Courtney Lodato, Vice President at Singer Associates, Inc. is the local project manager of the Transbay Center Project.
