The North County Transit District (NCTD) (reporting mark SDNX) is the agency responsible for public transportation in North San Diego County, California, United States. NCTD provides 12 million passenger trips per year. NCTD's geographic area is approximately 1,020 square miles, with an approximate population of 842,000 people. NCTD is governed by a Board of Directors.
The agency operates the BREEZE bus service, SPRINTER light rail service between Oceanside and Escondido, COASTER commuter rail service between Oceanside and downtown San Diego, LIFT paratransit service, and FLEX on-demand service.
NCTD owns 62 mi (100 km) of mainline track, as well as the 22 mi (35 km) Escondido Branch that has been used by the SPRINTER since 2008. The COASTER commuter train runs on 41.1 mi (66.1 km) of the mainline.
NCTD maintains two rail yards. One is shared with the San Diego Trolley at 12th & Imperial in Centre City San Diego; this rail yard stores trainsets during mid-days. The other, located north of Oceanside at Stuart Mesa on Camp Pendleton, is shared with Metrolink and is the location of the main maintenance facility.
The North San Diego County Transit Development Board (NSDCTDB) was established in 1976 by California Senate Bill No. 802 to plan, construct, and operate public transit in North San Diego County. The Board quickly acquired the municipal transit systems operated by the cities of Escondido and Oceanside. The Board also designed a regional transit system consisting of local and regional corridor routes to serve the transportation needs of North San Diego County.
