2007-08 – 2017-18 California State Rail PlanORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREThe Board of Directors of NCTD is comprised of one member of each of the citycouncils of the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Oceanside,Solana Beach, San Marcos, and Vista, and one member from the San DiegoCounty Board of Supervisors.ROUTE AND SERVICE DESCRIPTIONThe Coaster serves eight stations between San Diego and Oceanside and operates22 trains per day Monday through Thursday, with 26 trains on Friday (April-September) and frequent service during peak periods. Four round-trips areoperated on Saturday. During the 2007 San Diego Padres Baseball season, theCoaster began providing Saturday and Sunday Padres Home Game service.This added service has been very popular and NCTD will consider continuationnext season. The running time from San Diego to Oceanside is approximately 58minutes, and all Coaster trains are wheelchair accessible.The Coaster has eight stations: Oceanside Transit Center, Carlsbad Village,Carlsbad Poinsettia, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Sorrento Valley, Old Town TransitCenter and San Diego Santa Fe Depot. All stations have parking facilities exceptdowntown San Diego’s Santa Fe Depot. Parking improvements are currentlybeing developed for the Solana Beach Station. NCTD is also pursuing atemporary parking lot expansion on NCTD-owned right-of-way at the CarlsbadVillage Station.FARE STRUCTUREThe Coaster fare structure is based on distance traveled, with four fare zones.Passengers purchase their tickets from ticket vending machines at stationplatforms before boarding the train, and they must present a valid ticket ormonthly pass to the conductor or ticket inspector upon request. Ticket typesavailable include one-way tickets, round-trip tickets, regular monthly pass,Senior/Disabled monthly pass, and youth monthly pass. Discounts ofapproximately 50 percent for seniors and the disabled, and 25 percent for youth,are offered on the monthly passes, compared to the regular monthly pass.The Rail 2 Rail program allows Coaster and Amtrak to accept certain ticketsissued by each other’s rail services. Coaster monthly pass holders travelingbetween Oceanside and San Diego can increase their train service options at noadditional cost. Amtrak ticket holders also enjoy the same privilege on Coastertrains within the limits of their ticket at no additional charge to the passenger.However, NCTD must reimburse Amtrak $1.50 per net Coaster rider carried onAmtrak, under this program. NCTD budgeted operating funds of $125,000 forthis service in its FY08 Budget.138
