REGIONAL MOBILITY HUB IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY Barrio Logan Trolley Station Mobility hubs are transportation centers located in smart growth areas served by high frequency transit service. They provide an integrated suite of mobility services, amenities, and technologies that bridge the distance between transit and an individual’s origin or destination. They are places of connectivity where different modes of travel—walking, biking, transit, and shared mobility options—converge and where there is a concentration of employment, housing, shopping, and/or recreation. This profile sheet summarizes mobility conditions and demographic characteristics around the Barrio Logan Trolley Station to help inform the suite of mobility hub features that may be most suitable.

The station provides a convenient waiting area for the popular Blue Line Trolley that connects downtown to the U.S./Mexico border. As part of the San Diego Trolley Renewal Project, the Blue Line was renovated to offer a more comfortable transit experience for riders. The renovation included signal optimization for improved service, larger shelters, and raised platforms for ease of access. Building upon these improvements, the station could offer enhanced station amenities like WiFi, USB charging ports, and an interactive transportation kiosk that displays real-time information about regional transit services. Vehicle ownership in Barrio Logan is low and transit ridership is proportionally higher than other parts of San Diego. The recent investment in multifamily housing and major commercial destinations near the Trolley station provides amenities for both residents and visitors. The Mercado del Barrio shopping center, César Chávez Continuing Education Center, Chicano Park, art galleries, and restaurants attract neighborhood residents and visitors alike. The working waterfront is well-known for attracting large numbers of commuters each day. However, the connections from the Trolley to key Port of San Diego entry points are limited, encouraging many to drive alone, impacting parking along Harbor Drive. Given the neighborhood’s proximity to downtown, a wide variety of shared mobility options could be explored to enhance the travel experience for Barrio Logan residents, employees, and visitors. Three bikeshare stations in the northern portion of the community provide an opportunity to enhance cycling on the Bayshore Bikeway. Carshare and on-demand rideshare services could also greatly benefit these communities, but subsidies may be needed to ensure equitable access. Existing curb space within the community could be transitioned, where feasible, to accommodate shared services and passenger loading and unloading. Barrio Logan Trolley Station RECOMMENDED MOBILITY HUB FEATURES Mobility hubs depend on a complementary suite of transportation services, amenities, and technologies to deliver a seamless and reliable travel experience. Providing context-sensitive mobility hub features leverages existing transportation investments while anticipating the future of mobility in the San Diego region. Pedestrian, bike, and motorized solutions all play a role to enhance connections to transit while extending its reach into communities. The incorporation of electrified mobility options coupled with real-time technologies will reduce our region’s carbon footprint while providing a fully integrated trip planning experience. As on-demand and autonomous services become more ubiquitous, transit stations and their surrounding communities will need to adapt to ensure these services effectively meet the needs of users while positively contributing to the transportation landscape.
