Sprinter Tour
Join us in our visit to the SPRINTER, North County Transit District’s new east-west light rail link between Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido. We will meet in the NCTD office for lunch and a brief presentation and will then board the SPRINTER for a tour of the project. The SPRINTER is one of the largest public works projects this region has seen. The line runs 22 miles along the Highway 78 corridor, effortlessly transporting passengers to work, school, shopping centers and other activities. The SPRINTER will reduce traffic by eliminating hundreds of cars, and will offer North San Diego County residents a green alternative. The SPRINTER will also encourage transit-oriented development in the cities along the route, a prospect that supports the principles of Smart Growth.
