Yesterday the board of the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) voted to adopt all our recommendations to transform empty parking lots into affordable homes.

This is a major win for our transit system, and for addressing our region’s housing affordability crisis.

Today we submitted a letter to the SANDAG Board of Directors encouraging them to consider requesting transit projects be advanced beyond what is currently proposed in the Shared Mobility concept released as a part of the development of the 2019 Regional Plan. We also encourage planning for the Purple Line be incorporated into the future transportation network scenario.
