  • 2015 Annual Report.Indd
    TEAM SAN JOSE ANNUAL REPORT 2015 FROM OUR LEADERSHIP Dear Friends and Colleagues, It was a great year for San Jose and for Team San Jose. The team welcomed 1.49 million visitors to our managed facilities, generating over $134.9 million in direct spending to the local economy and earning $9.9 million in gross operating profit. In June 2015, Team San Jose exceeded our fiscal 2014-15 performance measures by 24%, marking the fourth consecutive year we have met or exceeded our goals. Strong hotel performance and solid growth in Transient Occupancy Tax provided the opportunity to expand our positioning as a premiere travel destination for business and meetings, as well as leisure travel. In the last year, to lead this new charge and foster our growing global identity, we launched a redesigned visitor-centric web experience at sanjose.org and enhanced our consumer social media presence. We also began working with Visit California in new ways for international promotion and crafted a brand partnership with CONTENT magazine for our first digital consumer newsletter. We worked closely with our stakeholders and cultural partners to welcome the world to the Bay Area for Super Bowl 50. As one of the world’s most important sporting events, the weeklong festivity attracted over a million visitors to the Bay Area and hundreds of millions of consumers via multiple media platforms. With the City’s Office of Economic Development, we spearheaded an inter-agency effort to ensure that our visitors had an exceptional experience and that San Jose maximized every media exposure opportunity available.

Here's where the VTA, BART staffs collided head-on over San Jose's subway (Silicon Valley Business Journal) 2. Roadshow: Lawsuit means delays on Measure B projects (Mercury News) 3. Palo Alto subsidized public transit (KCBS Radio) Here's where the VTA, BART staffs collided head-on over San Jose's subway (Silicon Valley Business Journal) The staffs of the two transportation agencies involved in San Jose’s planned downtown subway came together in public for the first time Friday over the issue of what kind of tunnel should be built. It was a head-on collision at the VTA board's BART extension workshop. The question now is whether the Valley Transportation Authority and BART can resolve their differences over the single-bore/twin-bore issue within what already was a tight timeline for federal approval and not delay the project. "I was disappointed," said VTA board chair Jeannie Bruins of Los Altos. "Having worked in high tech, I have to say that when you have major projects, it's hard to move past talking at each other and moving to talking with each other. I'm hoping that having had the forum today, we're all motivated to start working with one another a little more closely." Members of both transit agencies staffs traveled jointly to Barcelona, Spain, in July to see the world's only operational single-bore subway line.
