Telecommunications, Antenna and Equipment Leasing

Centered in one of the most high-tech regions in the country, Santa Clara County offers an ideal location for the installation and operation of telecommunication services. With more than 50 VTA properties to choose from, including light rail park and ride lots, Caltrain stations and other administrative / vacant sites, service providers can position their equipment in nearly every area of the County. To expedite the process, the VTA Board of Directors has approved standardized licensing agreement terms and rates. Entering onto VTA-owned land or placing of data, utility or telecommunications equipment is not permitted without proper licensing. We receive requests from citizens, municipalities and companies that wish access to VTA owned land and these requests must be accompanied by a telecommunication lease/license application. There is a cost to VTA to acquire and maintain such properties. Consequently, as a steward of public assets, VTA requires a fair compensation to license or lease its properties.

If you are interested in licensing, leasing or installing and operating wireless telecommunications facilities on properties owned by the VTA please contact VTA Real Estate at (408) 321-5777.
