Opinion: The fiscal cliff is real for transit — and it’s time to act! Across the state, transit agencies are warning that they are only months away from insolvency.

“A strong and reliable transit network is not merely a convenience — it is a fundamental public benefit.”

NIMBYs in Del Mar have pushed SANDAG to add *another* alternative to the Del Mar Tunnel EIR - now not set to finish until 2028, 3 years after the draft.

Rather than the 110 mph alignments that would tunnel under their town, their preference is to slow down the US's #2 rail corridor to 25 mph.

Long-sought Coaster extension to San Diego Convention Center will break ground this year The fully-funded project will offer a direct commuter-rail link from North County to downtown San Diego attractions such as Petco Park, the Gaslamp Quarter and the Rady Shell.

“An extension that increases ridership should go hand-in-hand with improved hours and frequency, so the Coaster can provide North County residents with meaningful access to downtown’s vibrant bar & food scene” via @sandiegouniontribune.com

Seven transit lines serve Balboa Park. As the city rolls out paid parking, why isn’t MTS promoting them? Transit advocates say it’s ‘a unique opportunity for the city of San Diego and MTS to actively promote and invest in alternatives’ to driving.

This emerging group of young transit advocates wants to reshape how San Diego gets around RideSD is becoming increasingly vocal and conspicuous as it lobbies for incremental changes and big-ticket items like a new trolley line.

GO @ridesd.org! "We would love to be the organization politicians reach out to ask what public transit riders think, to put public transit at the forefront of their policies, instead of them catering to car drivers and people who want free parking.” www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/01/18/t...
