Who We Are
Move San Diego was formed in January 2004 by citizens, environmentalists, bicyclists, pedestrians and transportation experts to build broad support for sustainable transportation systems and land-use policies. Click for information about our Board of Directors or Officers and Staff.
Vision
Convenient, on-time, healthy, sustainable transportation throughout the San Diego region.
Mission
Organize and serve a broad collaboration of people and organizations to prioritize, fund, and implement sustainable, healthy, convenient transportation and related land use solutions that get people and goods wherever they are going, on time, throughout the San Diego region.
Goals
Organizing the Community
- Assemble and maintain a collaboration of the various groups working to improve transportation. Help to resolve issues between groups that are blocking unified progress.
- Serve this collaboration with information, analysis, constructive advocacy, outreach, communication, and convening.
- Provide a place for members of the public to show their support for transportation solutions.
- Develop, promote, and facilitate regional transportation solutions, and support regional leadership in effectively implementing them.
- Be accepted as a trusted public voice for sustainable transportation.
Working with Government
- Through proactive and constructive work with relevant agencies, help shape the next Regional Transportation Plan and each successive plan.
- Promote the planning principles and plan changes required to increase transit ridership: connectivity of the network, customer experience, transit travel times equal or faster than driving for key trips.
- Encourage transportation agencies and other public and non-profit organizations to provide information to the public, in innovative ways, about the opportunities for more sustainable transportation and improved land use.
- Fearlessly and respectfully identify the obstacles blocking innovative solutions to transportation and land use issues, and constructively pursue their remediation.
Results in Our Region
- Dramatic improvements to our region's transit system, doubling transit trips taken per day after 7 years, and doubling again after another 7 years.
- A 50% increase in the number of housing units in walkable locations.
- A 50% increase in the number of jobs in walkable locations.
- Identify the best mix of infrastructure and services for a sustainable transportation future.
What We Do
Our primary goal is to promote progress on the planning, development, and use of different transportation modes – such as walking, bicycling and public transit – and the land use patterns that help determine their effectiveness. Move San Diego is not anti-automobile. Rather, we believe the region must begin bringing our transportation investments into balance. We need to protect the region's enormous investment in roads from overuse, and to protect the region's environment and quality of life. Our transportation investments must be more strategic and cost-effective.
