Tell us about the places you visit most between San Ysidro and Sorrento Mesa by Monday, October 14.
Take Our SurveyPeople traveling north and south through our region’s most densely populated urban areas need convenient transportation options to avoid sitting in traffic. After years of community advocacy, especially by people in the City Heights neighborhood, we are planning many projects to address this issue, including the Purple Line.
The Purple Line will eventually be a high-speed transit route connecting many people to destinations from San Ysidro to Sorrento Mesa through Chula Vista, National City, City Heights, and Kearny Mesa. It will provide dependable transportation for low-income communities and serve as an attractive alternative to driving. The Purple Line will connect to several transit centers, including all Trolley lines and many Rapid bus routes. It will expand access to jobs, schools, medical services, recreation, and more.
Major railway projects like this often take 15 to 20 years to plan, design, and build. In the meantime, we will explore temporary solutions (such as the Rapid 688 bus line) along the future route to improve access quickly. Watch the info session (en español) about this project and the Rapid 688 bus route from August 28, 2024.
We will seek the community’s input at every step of planning for this critical transit lifeline. Please email us at purpleline@sandag.org and follow us on social media for project updates and feedback opportunities.
