Transit to the Airport

A big, unfinished win for the region.

After months of advocacy from Circulate San Diego, and pressure from other public agencies, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority announced a $500 Million commitment to partner on a transit connection to the Airport!

The Airport Authority staff and board deserve credit for proactively responding to calls to change their plans for the needed Terminal One expansion. Leadership from Mayor Faulconer and SANDAG were also crucial for this success.

When the Airport initially proposed changes to Terminal One in 2018, the initial news coverage of the objections to the project were focused on traffic and inter-agency turf battles.

Circulate took a different approach, detailing in a letter that any Terminal One expansion must be paired with upgraded transit connections to the Airport. Soon after we launched a campaign, blitzing the media, and generating more than 570 emails to the Airport and Mayor Faulconer’s office. The result was a complete refocus of the issue to be connecting transit to the Airport in both the press coverage and in public policy.
