Tus Salesforce Transit CenterExternal Link (Transit Center) will serve as the Northern terminal for California High-Speed Rail.  The Transit Center is currently open and serves local and regional bus operators on the ground and upper level. It is home to Salesforce ParkExternal Link, a 5.4-acre public park that features a living roof where a curved walking trail lined with benches surrounds grassy lawns, dancing fountains, a children’s play area, and an amphitheater.

The Transit Center was also constructed with two below-grade levels that will include a concourse and platforms for future Caltrain and high-speed rail service.

Lub PortalExternal Link, also known as the Downtown Rail Extension project, is a 1.3-mile tunnel that will extend rail service from Caltrain’s San Francisco station at 4th and King Streets to the multimodal Transit Center in the heart of downtown San Francisco. It is a transformational, once-in-a-generation investment and is the second phase of the Transbay Program being delivered by the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA). Once complete, it will link eleven transit systems and connect passengers throughout the Bay Area and across the state. 

The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) is a partner in delivering TJPA’s The Portal. In 2022, the Authority’s Board of Directors enviornmentally cleared the station at 4th and King streets to serve as the interim terminal station for high-speed rail service until the completion of The Portal.
