Getting around Sunnyvale

Sunnyvale is located at the crossroads of four of the South Bay’s major freeways and expressways. The SR 85, US 101, SR 237, and I-280 freeways run through the city. A segment of State Route 82 runs through the center of the city, following the path of historic El Camino Real. 

Sunnyvale is served by two public transit systems: the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (both light rail and buses) and the Caltrain commuter rail.

Sunnyvale has been listed by the League of American Bicyclists as a Bicycle-Friendly Community at the bronze level, having multiple on-street and off-street bike lanes, bicycle-activated traffic signals, and bicycle accommodations on both VTA and Caltrain. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee advises the city council on the continued development of the bicycle plan for the city.
