Policy Letter: SANDAG - Minimize Delay Connecting Transit To San Diego Airport
SANDAG’s February 23, 2024 Board meeting was scheduled to include an update from staff on the status of plans for Transit to the Airport. Like many San Diegans, Circulate expected to see a plan and alternatives submitted for environmental review soon. We were therefore disappointed to instead see this item suggest re-analyzing the project and, more concerningly, projecting a 24-month timeline for doing so.
Circulate recognizes the possible need to ensure confidence in this project, both among the SANDAG Board and the public. However, the 24-month timeline for SANDAG’s proposed re-analysis is, on its face, exceptional. Circulate submitted a letter asking that SANDAG revisit that timeline and shorten it as aggressively as it can.

Letter: Support Airport Authority Connecting Transit To San Diego Airport
Circulate submitted a letter to the San Diego Regional Airport Authority encouraging connection of the existing MTS Trolley and Train system to the San Diego International Airport. Service must be frequent, luggage friendly and useful for both flyers and airport employees. Rapid implementation is important, meaning the Airport Authority and SANDAG should prefer options that match to feasible funding opportunities, and independent of larger proposed future projects that might not happen.
