Santa Clara VTA’s interactive map shows COVID-19 vaccination sites easily accessible by public transit

Feb. 25, 2021
When viewers click on any vaccination location on the map, they will be taken to the Google Maps transit option to find the most efficient transit route to get to the destination. 

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) created an interactive map for the public to find a list of current vaccination locations and how they can be accessed via bus or light-rail routes. 

Transit trips are free as VTA is currently not collecting fares. When viewers click on any vaccination location on the map, they will be taken to the Google Maps transit option to find the most efficient transit route to get to the destination.  

Currently, there are 20 different locations in Santa Clara County to obtain a COVID-19 vaccination for those who are eligible. Increasingly, those locations are in parts of the county hardest hit by the pandemic. VTA says it is working with the county to update COVID-19 vaccination sites on a weekly basis, then mapping the sites to coincide with the transit routes that serve those locations. 

If customers need help planning their trip, they can contact VTA Customer Service via email or phoneVTA also encourages everyone to download the Transit app for smartphones to get notifications and service alerts for all routes. 

While VTA is providing this interactive map to help get the public to vaccination sites, people will need to contact the Santa Clara County Health Department for information on hours, dates, eligibility and appointments.
