How to get to “Moving San Diego To A Clean
Energy Future”
We encourage all attendees to use this event as a start toward moving
beyond fossil fuels - to a clean energy future. Why not leave the car home if
you can? Here are some ideas for a fun and efficient trip…

Ride Your Bicycle
We have 2 group bike rides to the event that are led by the Sierra Club Bike Section. Join Sierra Club Bicycle Section
members and others (no need to be a Sierra Club member) for one of these social paced (10-12 MPH) rides to and from
Balboa Park to participate in the "Moving San Diego to a Clean Energy Future" march and rally. Support bicycling as a clean
transportation alternative. Helmet, water, spare tube, pump and patch kit required. Bring snacks.

Take the Train
Coaster
The designated Moving San Diego train is Coaster #680, which leaves Oceanside at 8:30 AM, arriving at Kettner and Broadway,
Santé Fe Station, at 9:32 - in time for the interfaith panel and march/rally. Join us with signs on the Moving San Diego to a
Clean Energy Future car. We'll walk/bike as a group to the event (about 1.6 miles). Contact/RSVP: Mike Bullock, 760-754-
8025 or mike_bullock *at* earthlink *dot* net.
Sprinter
There are two sprinters you can take to connect with the designated coaster above - one leaves Escondido at 6:33 and would
allow time to eat breakfast and read in Oceanside, before the 8:30 train. The other leaves Escondido at 7:33, allowing 4
minutes to buy the ticket and board. Contact/RSVP: Mike Bullock, 760-754-8025 or mike_bullock *at* earthlink *dot* net.
Trolley
Trolleys generally run every half hour on the weekends, with some exceptions: check the Trolley schedule to be sure. Here
are the closest stops:
•
5th Avenue (blue and orange lines) is 1 mile away from our gathering spot. Walk north on 5th or 6th Avenue up to our
meeting area on 6th Ave between Laurel and Juniper.
•
Middletown (blue line) is about 1.1 miles from our gathering spot. Walk or bike south on Kettner 2 blocks to Laurel and
then East to the park.
ALERT! THIS JUST IN: Maintenance work on the Orange Line means no trolley service between Euclid
Ave and Encanto/62nd St Stations this weekend. There will be substitute shuttle service but this may
likely add up to 30 extra minutes to your trip. More information here.
By Bus
Please check the schedule for exact times. The closest bus stops:
•
The #3 and #120 buses go up and down 4th Ave (southbound) and 5th Ave (northbound) and can drop you at 4th or 5th
