Transportation Committee

The Transportation Team advocates for a fully connected, electrified regional transit system and pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure that are safe, convenient, affordable, and support GHG emission reduction goals.

• Advocating for a Regional Transportation Plan that dramatically reduces GHG emissions
• Advocating for Youth Opportunity Passes, better amenities at stations, more frequent stops, and COVID-19 protection for drivers and riders as part of the Transportation Equity Working Group 
• Educating the public and building coalitions in preparation for a transit ballot initiative

• Attend SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) and MTS (Metropolitan Transit System) meetings and provide written or oral comments 
• Represent SanDiego350 at various coalition meetings
• Meet with elected officials to advocate for policies
• Educate SD350 members about policies and engage in transportation justice advocacy
• Analyze, describe, and track relevant local, regional, and state policies
• Help build an active transportation (bicycling and pedestrian) working group

Helped pass AB 805 (which restructured SANDAG to better represent vulnerable communities), successfully advocated with MTS for a bus electrification pilot project, and educated residents and partners about the 5 Big Moves & other transit campaigns.

Our Executive Director once got thrown out of a SANDAG meeting when they refused to develop a regional transportation plan that met state climate targets. 

The Transportation Committee meets the second Tuesday of every month from 6:30 – 8:00pm.
