en.Wedoany.com Reported - The state of São Paulo and the city of São José dos Campos will jointly invest R$207.8 million in the construction of the East Axis Phase II (Eixo Leste Trecho II), a core project of the Green Line Phase II (Linha Verde Fase II), aimed at connecting the already completed South/Central section with the East Zone, expected to improve residents' travel and reduce commute times. The state government is contributing R$127 million, with the city government providing a matching R$80.8 million. Funds will be used for paving (including road restoration), sidewalk and bicycle lane construction, as well as horizontal and vertical signage works.
This urban mobility and renovation project covers 8.3 kilometers of road, involving the stretch between Senator Teotônio Vilela Avenue and President Tancredo Neves Avenue. Works include site leveling, final waste disposal, drainage system construction (including rainwater collection and drainage facilities), as well as public lighting and turf laying.
The currently operational section of the Green Line spans approximately 20 kilometers, connecting the South Station (Estação Sul) to the city center, operated by electric rubber-tired light rail vehicles (VLPs). According to the city government, the current operational phase offers two route options departing from the South Station, passing through stations such as Eldorado, Vale do Sol, Jardim Morumbi, Jardim Oriente, Jardim América, Dutra, São Dimas, Praça Maurício Cury, Jardim Osvaldo Cruz, Rodoviária Nova, Vila Sanches, and Jardim Satélite. According to the city government, the line enhances public transport efficiency and comfort through traffic signal priority, integrated electronic payment, and travel speeds 50% faster than conventional routes. According to the 2024 municipal report, the line transports approximately 6,500 passengers daily.
