  • MILITARY MULTIMODAL ACCESS STRATEGY Final Report
    MILITARY MULTIMODAL ACCESS STRATEGY Final Report October 2019 | DRAFT Executive Summary The San Diego region is home to the largest concentration of military assets in the world, supporting a robust ecosystem of over 384,000 active duty military personnel, civilian employees, and veterans. This "defense cluster” generates significant economic benefit for the region, but also adds considerable demand on the transportation network, particularly near military facilities. Finding solutions has been difficult due in part to: • Legal/Policy framework between military installations and adjacent jurisdictions • Leadership and staff turnover to maintain awareness and utilization of alternative commute programs • Location of military facilities and housing • Limited commute options that support military needs Added demand on the transportation network exacerbates traffic-related impacts in the region affecting national security, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and impacting livability. Collaboration among stakeholders is critical to identifying solutions. To address these challenges and ensure the region can sustain and support future military growth, the Military Working Group (MWG) developed a Multimodal Military Access Strategy (Strategy). Based on the data and input collected, the Strategy aims to: • Develop a process to collaborate and prioritize transportation improvements to support both military and local needs • Identify access improvements that benefit multiple stakeholders • Develop recommendations and next steps to guide the MWG • Serve as a model for other regions to coordinate transportation solutions with the military or other employers with dispersed campuses. What’s in this document? The Project Inventory was compiled through stakeholder interviews, a literature review, a stakeholder workshop, Project Development Team (PDT) input, and the sessions with MWG.

To date, no comprehensive agency-wide inventory of amphibian and reptile species has been compiled. We developed an amphibian and reptile species inventory for 415 DoD installations/sites and evaluated species diversity. The amphibian and reptile species confrmed present on DoD sites represent 66% of the total native species documented in the continental U.S. Snakes are the most widespread group found on DoD lands. Of the military services, Army sites have the greatest number of confrmed species, federally listed, state-listed, and At-risk species.

  • Naval Base San Diego
    NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO Naval Base San Diego (NBSD) is comprised of the following facilities: 32nd Street Facility Naval Base (known as NBSD), Broadway Complex in Downtown San Diego, and the Naval Medical Center San Diego complex near Balboa Park (Figure 1). NBSD is the principle homeport for the United States Pacific Fleet1 and a part of San Diego’s Working Waterfront, which has national and regional significance for employment, goods movement, and security. The Working Waterfront also includes North American Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) Shipyard, Port of San Diego, BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair (BAE), and the Continental Maritime of San Diego (CMSD). In addition to its three facilities, NBSD oversees 18 housing areas, including Murphy Canyon housing complex, and the Admiral Baker Golf Course and Recreation Center in Mission Valley2. NBSD is the workplace for approximately 31,000 military personnel3 and provides more than 4,900 homes for Navy families2. NBSD NBSD has 12 piers and is the homeport of over 50 Navy ships, which represents the largest concentration of Navy surface vessels on the West Coast. The facility also is home to seven ships of the Navy’s Military Sealift Command4, two Coast Guard cutters, several research and auxiliary vessels, and over 200 individual commands2. The facility provides pier space and waterfront operational services. A major tenant command on base is Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC), which makes NBSD the single point of contact for ship maintenance in the San Diego area. SWRMC oversees contracted maintenance and overhaul activities for all ships stationed in and visiting the region.
