Departments > Information and Technology Services for traffic volume maps References https://www.sandag.org/regional-plan/2025-regional-plan' style='font-weight: normal; width:100%;' >Hello fellow Chula Vista residents ~
Let's talk about public transit as a service! As the second-largest city in San Diego County, let's have a connected city like one.
The City of Chula Vista recognizes single-occupant motorists are a leading factor to congested freeways. The existing public transportation is not reliable, expansive, or frequent to encourage ridership. No one likes to be stranded.
SANDAG is gathering community input until October 13 2025 for the 2025 Regional Plan that will create the basis for San Diego County public transportation until 2050.
I understand a trolley rail line connecting West Chula Vista and East Chula Vista will probably not happen, based on costs, optics, time, feasibility, land use, what have you. Chula Vistans of all ages and driving license status should be able to safely get around our communities.
More MTS routes and less than $5 fare may be the competitive edge public transit needs to outweigh +$2000 personal e-bike at Costco.
A new state-of-the-art library and expectation of a 4-year university, on top of the community college, elite training center, car shows, city festivals, attractions etc. There's a lot to see that could benefit from a safe connected travel network.
