Downtown San Diego is the hub of the regional transportation network. Commuters and visitors find their way to the center city by using various modes of transportation including the Coaster, trolley, train, bus and car. For the driver, there are three major freeways that converge on Downtown and ample parking throughout the area.
Getting Around
Once you've arrived in Downtown, you can move around easily and inexpensively on buses, trolleys, pedicabs, taxicabs and bicycles. But Downtown is truly a pedestrian environment and many folks are getting to the office, shops, residences, restaurants, and theaters the old fashioned way – walking. The Downtown Partnership produces a fact-filled and fun pedestrian map. For a copy of the pedestrian map, visit our offices or pick one up at the Downtown Information Center located at 225 Broadway next to Horton Square.

Public Transit
The Metropolitan Transit Development Board (MTDB) is responsible for overseeing the operations, maintenance and management of the Metropolitan Transit System in San Diego. To accommodate the growing needs of the region, MTDB has developed a strategic plan called TransitWorks. This program will guide the future of public transit with proposed Red Car, Green Car and Blue Car service for short, medium and long-range shuttle services. The expanded and integrated system will help improve mobility and cost-effectiveness of public transit.
