NCTD Offers Free Rides for Transit Equity Day

In 1955, Rosa Parks was riding home from a long day at work by bus when she refused to give up her seat to white riders so they could sit down. The actions of the 42-year-old activist invigorated the struggle for racial equality. To commemorate Rosa Parks’ birthday, and all she stood for, North County Transit District (NCTD) is joining other public transportation agencies around the country in recognizing February 4, 2023, as “Transit Equity Day” and offering free rides on all NCTD transit modes – COASTER, BREEZE, SPRINTER, FLEX and LIFT – for the entire day. This year will be the first year that NCTD will participate in Transit Equity Day by offering free rides.

Pacific Surfliner Weekend Service
Set to Resume Through San Clemente

Pacific Surfliner service through San Clemente will be restored on weekends starting February 4th. Weekday service remains temporarily suspended. The tracks in south San Clemente have been closed to passenger rail service since late September 2022 out of an abundance of caution after officials noticed movement of the tracks and the adjacent hillside. Emergency construction work has successfully stabilized the area, and a safety assessment has cleared the way for rail service to resume. OCTA, the agency leading the construction, is estimating that the project will be complete by the end of March 2023.
