The new Rapid 880 route will provide a faster east-west transit connection for people in East County and Central San Diego. Students, employees, shoppers, and patients will enjoy an easier way to get to the Veterans Affairs Hospital, Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, and more. The route will start in El Cajon, pass through Santee and Kearny Mesa, and end at UC San Diego or Sorrento Mesa.
From early 2025 to mid-2026, SANDAG will study where the route could go, its potential stops, and many other details while continuing to collect public feedback to inform this process. Rapid 880 could be open for riders as soon as 2029, pending funding for planning, design, and construction.
