Southeastern Connect —a new electric, on-demand transportation service—officially launched in Southeast San Diego, marking a major step toward cleaner, more accessible mobility for underserved neighborhoods.
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) began a four-year pilot program in partnership with Via Transportation and the Urban Collaborative Project. Residents in Chollas View, Emerald Hills and Mount Hope can now request rides through the Via San Diego app or by calling (619) 413-9986.
The service is free through November. According to SANDAG, during the first three months, ridership data will be gathered to determine fare implementation options.
“This new connection will allow people to get around Southeastern communities in a more convenient way,” said San Diego Councilm
