VTA Fully Restores Light Rail Services After 17-Day Workers' Strike

The Green Line's reopening marks the final phase of service restoration, though the labor dispute between VTA and its workers remains unresolved.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) announced the full restoration of light rail services, including the Green Line, as of April 3, 2025.
The 17-day strike, which ended after a court enforced a no-strike clause, disrupted transit for over 100,000 daily commuters.
Restoration of the Green Line was delayed due to inspections and repairs addressing copper wire theft and ensuring operational safety.
VTA thanked passengers for their patience and offered credits to monthly pass holders affected by the service disruption.
Despite the resumption of transit operations, the contract dispute between VTA and the workers' union remains unresolved, with no new negotiations scheduled.
