system or explore the open road in San Diego, you’ll be able to do it
all from your San Diego temporary housing unit. Headed to the beach or

Public Transportation
The San Diego Metro Transit System is an easy way for temporary housing
residents in San Diego to get around. The system, which includes busses,
trains and trolleys, covers 570 square miles and transports over 84 million
passengers a year. From Old Town to Fashion and Mission Valleys and even
into Tijuana, Mexico, you can count on the transit system to get you where
you need to go. For longer distances, Coaster trains (part of the Metro
system) carry San Diego temporary housing residents into the city and
the Amtrak train will take you up and down the Pacific coastline.
Driving
Traveling by car during your stay in executive housing? The city encourages
more people and fewer cars, which lessens the traffic and the strain on
the roads. For those who choose to travel by car, San Diego has well developed

interstates in San Diego include:
- Interstate 5: Runs north/south along San Diego’s coast and eventually
connects Mexico to Canada
