In Downtown Morgan Hill, it operates along Main Avenue and serves four stops – two eastbound stops and two westbound.

VTA is reviewing the bus terminus as a potential surplus site and may sell the site for redevelopment in the future. Route 16 currently operates with approximately 60-minute headways between 6:30 to 9:00 am and 2:00 to 5:00 pm.

o Morgan Hill Civic Center: 9 minutes o Main and Hale Bus Terminus: 4 minutes o Live Oak High School: 4 minutes o Sobrato High School: 20 minutes

The long 60-minute headways for these relatively short trips limit the utility of this route. The VTA within the Draft Next Network plan (described below) is reclassifying the route as a School Tripper, and reducing the service times to school start and end hours. • Local Route 68 , a regional bus route, provides service between the Gilroy Transit Center and the San Jose Diridon Transit Center. In Downtown Morgan Hill, it operates along Monterey Road and Main Avenue, and serves four stops – two northbound stops and two southbound stops. Route 68 operates on weekdays

6 The closest stop to Morgan Hill Transit Center is Main & Calle Mazatan (9-minute walk). This stop is not included as a timepoint on VTA’s schedule; therefore, these are approximate travel times between stations that do not include the 9-minute walking time.
