NCTD Opens San Luis Rey Transit Center

The North County Transit District (NCTD) opened its newest facility, the San Luis Rey Transit Center in Oceanside, CA, in ceremonies Feb. 1. BREEZE bus routes began serving the station the following day.

The public transit district partnered with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to construct the facility. Federal funds totaling $1.85 million, including $1.5 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, helped pay for construction, while NCTD and other local sources provided $850,000.

“The 12-bay transit center—with covered shelters, seating, restroom facilities, and a communications/security building—is a vast improvement over the interim facility. We are glad to be able to operate this secure and modern facility for the comfort of our passengers, and we are grateful to SANDAG for making it possible,” said San Diego County Supervisor Bill Horn, NCTD board chair.

Five local and regional bus services will use the San Luis Rey facility. The new communications/security building anchors the mixed-use North River Village project, which combines residential and retail facilities and enhances pedestrian connections. 

Officials representing the NCTD Board of Directors, area city and county governments, and the San Diego Association of Governments, along with local celebrities, joined NCTD Executive Director Matthew Tucker, sixth from left, at the recent ribbon cutting for the agency’s San Luis Rey Transit Center.
