Transit Leap could create a complete network of fast, high-capacity, high-frequency transit services that connect major residential areas with employment centers and attractions throughout the San Diego region. Transit Leap services could connect to supporting
Flexible Fleets in
Mobility Hubs. New high-speed services — covering longer distances with limited stops— may be separated from vehicle traffic with bridges, tunnels, or dedicated lanes. Improvements to existing transit services—such as the Trolley, COASTER, SPRINTER, and Rapid—may include additional rail tracks, more frequent service, dedicated transit lanes, and traffic signal priority to keep transit moving quickly.

Future transit services build upon what we have today. Developed in collaboration with regional transit operators North County Transit District and Metropolitan Transit System, the proposed Transit Leap network provides practical transit choices that are viable alternatives to driving for most trips along Complete Corridor highways. The primary service types include:
- Commuter Rail / Every 5–10 min. all day
High-speed trains that serve longer regional trips.
- Light Rail / Every 10 min. all day
New tram services and improved light rail services with higher frequencies, expanded service times, and faster travel times.
- Next Gen Rapid / Every 10 min. all day
Faster and more reliable Rapid bus service with more comfortable, high-tech vehicles.
- Local bus and microtransit services complete the Transit Leap network.
- Special transit projects, such as connecting a Central Mobility Hub to the San Diego International Airport, would help people travel beyond the region for business or pleasure.
