Flexible Fleets
Flexible Fleets are shared on-demand transportation services that provide convenient and personalized travel options. Fleets include neighborhood shuttles, shared scooters, rideshare, bikeshare, and last-mile links. These fleets provide important connections between public transit services and key destinations such as work or home, making it easier to move around the region without relying on a car. Flexible Fleets are accessible using mobile apps and can be operated by public and private agency partnerships.
Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) are low-speed, electric shuttles used for three miles. NEVs can operate on a fixed route or an on-demand route, where the NEV shuttle can be hailed from a smartphone app. SANDAG has recently launched two partnership NEV pilots and continues to collaborate with local jurisdictions on pilots throughout the region.
The data findings below were provide by Circuit Transit and highlight operations in Oceanside (gO'side), Pacific Beach (Beach Bug), Downtown San Diego (FRED), National City, Chula Vista, and Carlsbad. These data range from when the pilot program started in January 1st 2022 to March 10th 2024. This page will be updated on a quarterly basis.
