🚌 ABOUT RIDE SD
RideSD’s mission is to build San Diego into a world class transit city by advocating for improvements to public transit for current transit riders, and by promoting regular use of public transit for prospective riders.
RideSD seeks to establish a shift in how San Diegans travel, where public transit is seen as a viable option that can reliably, efficiently, and safely get anyone from point A to point B. Use of a car should not be a necessity, but a choice.
