The Berryessa BART Multimodal Transportation Improvement Plan (MTIP) is a community-based effort to identify transportation improvements. This plan will likely result in improvements like: better bike lanes, safer pedestrian crossings, and dedicated bus lanes. The study area centers on the Berryessa BART Urban Village. The planning process will consider current neighborhood priorities and the City's forward-looking goals.

The Berryessa Urban Village project encompasses the area around the Berryessa / North San José Station. The Berryessa MTIP Study Area focuses on areas bordered by E Gish Road and Murphy Avenue / Hostetter Road to the north; McKee Road and E Julian Street to the south; Flickinger Avenue to the east; and N 10 and 11 Streets to the west.
