We have several properties available throughout our transit system available for joint development opportunities.

Integrating your development with the San Diego transit system offers a unique opportunity for helping the region meet community plan goals and reduce the community impact on the environment. 

SUBJECT: Board Approval: 7/25/19
JOINT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
PURPOSE:
MTS manages a portfolio of real property assets whose primary purpose is to fulfill the
functional needs of transit operations. These real property assets can also be
developed to enhance the financial stability of MTS operations, promote increased
transit utilization, and achieve other community development objectives. MTS seeks to
work in close partnership with its service area cities and the County of San Diego to
identify and implement joint development opportunities. Promoting quality transit
oriented development on or near the transit system can generate new opportunities to
create direct and indirect revenue for MTS while contributing to environmentally
sustainable livable communities that are focused on transit accessibility.
POLICIES:
A. Joint use and development of MTS property shall always prioritize transit operational
needs above all other considerations.
1. MTS shall preserve the ability to safely operate and maintain transportation
facilities on its properties.
2. For any development project pursued at an MTS park-and-ride, an analysis
shall be undertaken to determine the appropriate level at which existing
parking should be replaced, with full consideration of the relative growth in
future ridership that can result from dense joint development.
3. Development projects pursued under the Joint Development Program shall
strive to include physical improvements and/or transit programs (such as free
or subsidized transit passes) that encourage utilization of multi-modal transit
services and increase long-term ridership.
B. Joint development projects are expected to generate value to MTS, either through
direct/indirect revenue generation or through the construction of new transit facilities
on behalf of MTS.
