The Environmental Health Coalition, in partnership with the San Diego Transportation Equity Working Group , is proposing a ballot called “Elevate SD 2020” that would include youth opportunity passes, a new purple line, 24-hour service of public transportation, and increased frequency of bus and trolley services to the City of San Diego to aid SDSU students and the environment.
The Environmental Health Coalition’s Transportation Justice department focuses on improving the San Diego Transit system in Barrio Logan, National City, City Heights and Tijuana. The purpose of this division is to “address policy issues that have historically exposed low-income communities of color to toxic air pollution and the impacts of climate change,” says Carolina Martinez, the Director of Transportation Justice at the Environmental Health Coalition.
