NCTD Fast Forward changes - Near Term, 2001/2002:

These changes are in no particular order, but rather as I note them on the map.  Headways are M-F.

• New 395 combines Camp Del Mar part of 314/317 and 305 to San Clemente. 120 minute headway.  305 trips alternate via San Mateo Rd. & Basilone Rd., serving one street outbound, the other inbound, so riders may use any outbound trip from Oceanside to get to the northern camps.
• New 394 replaces 314 including the Columbine/Dogwood housing area.  120 minute headway, giving a combined 60 minute headway with 394/395 to Camp Del Mar.
• 317 is cut back to Oceanside Harbor, no longer entering Camp Pendleton.
• 303 split into 303 and 397.  397 takes the northern loop from Oceanside to the Hospital area, then continues along 306 to Fallbrook.  150 minute headway. 303 southern part remains to North River & College, then via current 306 route to Vista.  30 minute headway.
• 316 now will only operate to Francine Villas on a 60 minute headway.  The rest of 316 is covered by the 303 (Mission Ave.), 318 (Oceanside Blvd.) and 309 (El Camino Real).
• New 315 will operate via CA-76, then follow the northern 313 leg through the Oceanside Airport Industrial Park to Mission and College, but skipping the Old Grove area.  It then continues to the Camp Pendleton Hospital.  60 minute headway.
• 313 will now only be the southern leg of the current route, but only as far as Mission and College, serving the Old Grove area.  It will also serve part of the 312 route, staying south of Mission Ave.  It will also deviate to the Oceano complex on ECR.  60 minute headway.  Street improvements required around the Senior Citizen Center.
• 312 will now start going north on CA-76, then through the Loretta St. area, then new routing just west of the current routing, then via Downs and Avocado, to the Plaza Camino Real (PCR) area.  60 minute headway. Street improvements required around the Senior Citizen Center.
• 309 will be extended back towards Mission & College.  30 minute headway.
• 318 now has 30 minute headway all day.  It is extended to Palomar College as an express (no stops) during peak hours.
• 301 and 310 have no changes.
• 302 has 15 minute peak service, 30 minute mid-day.
• 320 has 30 minute service.  A new stop may be added at South Centre City Pkwy. & Citricado Pkwy (currently 320 operates non-stop between Escondido Transit Center and North County Fair).

• 321 is extended to Encinitas via Ave. Encinitas and Vulcan Dr., covering part of the northern loop of 361.

• New route 324 (interlined with route 344) will serve Carlsbad Village Dr., PCR, the Carlsbad area east of ECR, continuing to Vista.  This is dependent on the cities of Oceanside and Carlsbad agreeing to remove a barrier on Carlsbad Village Dr. at its eastern end.
• New peak route 401 serves Poinsetta Station and the areas along I-5 and just to the east, near Cannon and Lego Drs. (but not serving Legoland).
• New peak route 402 serves Poinsetta Station and Palomar Airport Rd., College Blvd. and the Carlsbad Industrial Area, replacing 319.

• 331 is split into 333 and 334.  333 will cover the north and west parts, and 334 the east part.  There will no longer be a connection between the north and east parts. The south part is now covered by FAST 339 and new peak hour route 432.  30 minute headway.

• 341 will have some routing changes in the western portion, and will now serve CSUSM via the 342 eastern loop. It will be interlined with 342.  The eastern portion will be discontinued, replaced by FAST 348. 60 minute headway.
• 342 will now operate two-way service along the western portion of the loop, with the eastern portion being taken over by 341.  It will be interlined with 341.  60 minute headway.
• 344 has no routing or time changes. It will be interlined with new route 324.
• New route 347 will serve Palomar College, CSUSM, Rancheros Rd., and the western portion of 383 (east of Nordahl Rd.) to Valley Pkwy., then via 382 to Escondido. 60 minute headway.

• 307 is renumbered as 387, with reduction to 120 minute frequency.
• 381 northern loop is replaced by 357 (with new service along Borden Rd.) and 355.  The northern and far eastern parts are replaced by 353, with Grand Ave. service replaced by 351.  30 minute headway.
• 382 western portion is replaced by 347 and 356.  Eastern portion is replaced by 358 and 359.  60 minute headway.

• New routes 351 and 352 are interlined. 15 minutes peak, 30 minutes off-peak.
• New routes 358 and 359 are interlined.  60 minute headway.
• 308 has no routing changes; 30 minutes peak, 60 minutes offpeak.
• The northern and eastern parts of 361 are discontinued; Vulcan Dr. service is replaced by 321, the rest of is covered by new FAST 365, serving an area between Leucadia Blvd., Saxony Rd., Encinitas Blvd. and ECR, and the area east of ECR and south of Santa Fe Dr.
• New route 362 takes over the southern portion of 361; 60 minute headway.
• New peak hour route 465 serves Encinitas Station, San Deguito HS, and the area east of ECR.
• New route 369 starts at Solana Beach Station, then follows 308 to Via De La Valle & Stevens, then via Jimmy Durante, Camino Del Mar, Del Mar Heights, Carmel Country, Carmel Creek, Carmel Mountain, Sorrento Valley Rd., Sorrento Valley Station, I-5 to UTC.  This resumes a portion of service abandoned over 15 years ago when San Diego pulled back their 41 from Del Mar and NCTD extended the (30)1 to UTC. This is predicate on a funding agreement with MTDB for the portion outside the NCTD area.  30 minute headway.
• It's unclear, but CTS 810 and CTS 860 may be expanded into all-day services. The colors on the map indicate 15 minute and 30 minute headways, respectively, but to me that seems overkill.

For far term (by 2012), NCTD is planning for increased frequencies and new services.  I am not covering reworking of routes such as the 302 being rerouted to cover the new 303, and extending the 306 along the western portion of the 302, and other reroutes due to LRT.

• LRT between Oceanside and Escondido, replacing 320.
• Extension of 388 to Fallbrook from Valley Center.
• New 389 service from Escondido north along the old US-395 corridor, then to Fallbrook.
• New 368 service following the 308/369 to Via De La Valle, then VDLV, ECR, Sorrento Valley Coaster, UTC.
• Resumption of 332 serving south Vista and continuing to San Marcos.
• Resumption of service in east San Marcos and NW Escondido by new 346.
• New RTA service from Escondido to Riverside via Temecula and Perris.
• New SDT 200 service (an MTDB project) with frequent service along I-15 between Escondido and San Diego.
• Expansion of FAST services to cover new areas of east (328) and south Carlsbad (329), far east Oceanside (319), far east Vista and north San Marcos (349), and southwest Escondido (350).
• New Coaster Station near UTC.
