In response to public feedback asking for a transit connection from Riverside County to San Diego County, the new Rapid 483 bus route will connect Temecula to Escondido and San Marcos with stops at popular destinations like California State University San Marcos and Palomar College. The route will provide vital access to jobs, schools, medical appointments, and more.
Since early 2025, SANDAG has been studying where the route could go, its potential stops, and many other details, while continuing to collect public feedback along the way to inform this process. This work will continue through 2026. Pending funding for planning, design, and construction, Rapid 483 could be open for riders as soon as 2029.
