Oceanside Transit Center

Oceanside Transit Center
blue box

The Oceanside Transit Center is the first of NCTD’s transit-oriented development projects and the westernmost bookend of the corridor. NCTD determined that redevelopment of the Oceanside Transit Center would facilitate bus to rail connectivity for its riders, provide opportunities for enhanced amenities that would improve customer experience and support regional housing goals. Following a robust selection process,

NCTD entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Toll Brothers Apartment Living in 2020 after determining that its proposal best represented NCTD’s vision for the redevelopment.

Following due diligence, Toll Brothers Apartment Living launched a community engagement program in August 2022 to solicit feedback and identify project modifications and community benefits.

NCTD received a grant to fund art in the OTC underpass and is working with the local arts commission on a community initiative for this effort.
