Who We Are

A New Voice Rising

COMTO San Diego is the newest chapter in the national COMTO network, proudly becoming Chapter 41 in a movement that has shaped transportation for more than five decades.

As San Diego's transportation landscape accelerates — light rail expansion, zero-emission fleets, regional mobility planning — we are stepping in with purpose, equity, and a commitment to making sure every community has a seat at the table.
