WORLD-CLASS TRANSIT
We deserve a Southern California where walking, biking, and public transit are safe, quick, and affordable options.
Why World-Class Transit?
Transportation is one of Southern California's largest sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Our car-centric lifestyle is putting the brakes on our dreams of a resilient, climate-safe future.
​
From commuter rails to scenic, protected bike paths, our goal is to provide a variety of safe, quick, and affordable transportation options that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve our quality of life. We need a way to get you where you need to go, and it’s all about giving you the power to choose how you get there.
Transit is a faltering lifeline for many San Diegans, leaving many stranded with long commutes and limited access to the region. Our current system falls short of delivering equitable mobility options, perpetuating a legacy of unjust land use and underinvestment in frontline communities.

How We’re Shifting Gears
Building Regional Transportation
It’s time to invest in a transportation system that prioritizes safe travel, enhances connectivity, and aligns with our local and state climate goals.
We linked arms with partners to push SANDAG’s 2021 Regional Transportation Plan across the finish line. This plan is the best that San Diego’s ever seen, with better access to job centers, safer streets, new and improved rail and buses, more protected bike lanes, and free transit by 2030.​
We are excited to announce that, alongside a coalition of incredible partners, we’ve successfully advocated for Youth Opportunity Passes.
​
These no-cost transit passes for youth have met incredible success, with over 6 million youth riders in the program's first year.
Transportation Justice
How Can You Get Involved?
We partnered with local organizations, labor unions, and activists to bring the fight for a stronger transportation system to the 2024 ballot box. We're working to gain funding for a transportation system that allows people to travel safely with enhanced connectivity.
Let's pass Let’s Go! San Diego, with a majority vote this November, to expand our transit infrastructure, increase high-wage and high-road union jobs, and meet our local and state climate goals.
