RideSD Bus Lane Report

RideSD’s 2024 Bus Lane Report details:

  1. Existing bus lanes in the City of San Diego.

  2. Bus lanes proposed by the City and SANDAG.

  3. Bus lanes recommended by RideSD.

The report also provides recommendations that will improve the planning and implementation of bus lanes. These recommendations can be incorporated into the City’s ongoing Mobility Master Plan update

The report also contains cool maps on bus lanes! Click below to read it.

Hillcrest Focused Plan Amendment

The original draft of the City’s Hillcrest Focused Plan Amendment (FPA) for the Uptown Community Plan did not contain strong policies on dedicated bus lanes or transit signal priority. RideSD sent a letter to the City and asked our supporters who live, work, and play in Uptown to send in comments too.

The City listened and the final draft of the Hillcrest FPA contained more explicit policies on dedicated transit lanes, stronger language on transit signal priority, and more distance of bus lanes!

RideSD also organized supporters to send in comments and speak at the City Council hearing on Hillcrest FPA. The result was a unanimous approval of a plan that calls for bus lanes on University Avenue and Washington Street.

BikeSD: Balboa Park
Bus and Bike Lanes

BikeSD (RideSD’s sister org) led a campaign to transform Park Boulevard in Balboa Park into a corridor that prioritizes bikes and transit.

BikeSD organized dozens of advocates to speak in several Balboa Park Committee meetings. They successfully persuaded the committee to approve a redesign of Park Boulevard that calls for Class IV bike lanes and bus-only lanes throughout the entire of the street through Balboa Park!

Currently, the City has implemented the Class IV bike lanes and most of the bus lanes. Further advocacy needs to be done to fill in the bus lane gaps.

Many of the advocates from this campaign were the co-founders of RideSD.
