Comprehensive Transportation Projects
Specialized Transportation
Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan
The Coordinated Plan combines the regional requirement for a Short-Range Transit Plan with the federal requirement for a Coordinated Plan into one planning document. The Coordinated Plan identifies the transportation needs of seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low-income persons; evaluates regional transit services; assesses available social services transportation; and establishes strategies to fill transportation gaps and meet the identified unmet transportation needs of transportation disadvantaged population groups. As part of the 2018 Coordinated Plan update, SANDAG completed the long-term Specialized Transportation Strategic Plan to address the increasing specialized service needs of seniors and persons with disabilities
Consolidated Transportation Services Agency
SANDAG has a contract with Facilitating Access to Coordinated Transportation, Inc. (FACT) to perform the duties of a Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA). The CTSA is responsible for the coordination of specialized transportation within the San Diego region.
