Draft 2007 RTP workshops scheduled for July
The draft 2007 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is now available for public review and comment. Join your community leaders, fellow residents, and SANDAG officials at a workshop near where you live or work.

SANDAG unveils Super Loop station designs
The community is invited to an open house to provide public comments on proposed Super Loop station designs on Wednesday, July 11, 2007, from 3 to 7:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, San Diego.

Compass Card update
Using public transit in the San Diego region will get a lot easier with the introduction of the Compass Card - an innovative, plastic "smart card" designed to streamline and expedite fare collection.

Connect to 511 for transit, traffic, and commute information
More and more people are dialing or clicking on 511 since the free service's public launch on February 21, 2007. After four months in operation, 511 and www.511sd.com average 17,000-plus phone calls and 50,000-plus page views each week.

Vanpool. Your passport to freedom on the open road.
Vanpooling is a comfortable, cost-effective, and convenient way for groups of people to share the ride. RideLink will help you get started by providing a list of people to vanpool with, and in some cases, SANDAG will help pay the bill. That's money back in your pocket and cars off the road.
