San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan speaks at a Diridon Station media event with local business leaders in San Jose, Calif., calling for federal funds to complete the long-promised BART extension, Tuesday, July 9, 2024. A coalition representing hundreds of businesses on Tuesday released a letter sent to U.S.
