Getting to Levi's Stadium
San Francisco 49ers · Santa Clara, CA
Levi's Stadium is reached by more separate rail operators than any other NFL venue here — VTA light rail stops at Great America Station on the stadium's north side, and ACE and Capitol Corridor run in from the Central Valley and the Sacramento corridor respectively. Driving is the one leg the stadium declines to document, offering an address box rather than a route.
Tips & Fan Reports
Take Caltrain to Mountain View and then the VTA rail directly to Levi's Stadium. Or take BART to Milpitas and transfer to the rail. Way better than driving and fighting for parking.
VTA buses drop at Tasman Drive and Great America Parkway, and at Tasman Drive and Calle Del Sol.
ACE trains run direct from the Central Valley: Stockton, Tracy, Livermore and Pleasanton among them.
From San Francisco it is Caltrain then a transfer to VTA's Orange Line at Mountain View — not a single ride.
Accessible courtesy transport from the station to the west gates is available on (408) 579-4610.
Great America Station sits on the stadium's north side — VTA light rail is the closest approach.
Ways In
- Driving
- The stadium publishes no driving route: its directions page is an address box that generates step-by-step directions, and it points event-day drivers to the parking pages, where the route varies by which lot you hold.
- Public Transit
- VTA light rail drops off and picks up at Great America Station on the north side of the stadium, with service to Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, San Jose, Santa Clara and Campbell. VTA buses serve Mountain View, Cupertino and Sunnyvale, dropping at Tasman Drive and Great America Parkway and at Tasman Drive and Calle Del Sol. From San Francisco, Caltrain riders transfer to VTA light rail's Orange Line at Mountain View station. ACE trains run direct from Stockton, Lathrop/Manteca, Tracy, Vasco, Livermore, Pleasanton and Fremont. Capitol Corridor serves the stadium from Auburn, Sacramento, Davis, Martinez, Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward, Fremont and San Jose among others.
- Rideshare
- Uber and Lyft serve Levi's Stadium with designated pickup/dropoff on Tasman Drive east of the stadium. From downtown San Francisco, $45-65 (surge pricing common on game days).

- Transit
VTA "Single Ride $2.50" (cash or Clipper), Day Pass $7.50. The other entry bundles two operators’ fares into one number and named neither trip: Caltrain is zoned -- 1 Zone $4.00, 2 Zones $6.25, 3 Zones $8.50, 4 Zones $10.75 -- and Santa Clara, the station for Levi’s Stadium, is Zone 4 against San Francisco’s Zone 1. So the full-length ride is the 4-zone $10.75 plus a $2.50 VTA fare to Great America, $13.25 together. The stored $7 was neither leg nor the sum. Driving entries carry no transit fare by definition
