The San Diego Association of Governments will move forward on a public transportation connection to San Diego International Airport with downtown as the preferred site of a central mobility hub, it was announced Wednesday.
SANDAG, Navy Region Southwest and the city of San Diego updated their collective vision for the hub, intended to provide the region with a centrally located transit center that serves everyone going to or from the airport — whether they use the bus, trolley, or commuter rail like the COASTER and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner.
SANDAG plans to build two direct transit connections to the airport, one from a new transit center located at the Port of San Diego headquarters on Pacific Highway and the other from the existing Santa Fe Depot. These connections are planned to link to the future Central Mobility Hub, which will be built at a location yet to be determined in downtown San Diego.
As recently as October 2020, SANDAG — the region's transportation agency — had been in talks with the Navy over using the outdated Naval Information Warfare Systems Command site near Old Town for the transit hub. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill written by then-Assemblyman Gloria and Senate President pro Tempore Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, intended to pave the way for redeveloping the NAVWAR Command site.
