Discover What Keeps Carlsbad Moving
All your transportation options, in one place. Let us introduce you to some of the best ways to get to, from, and around our community.
One is the loneliest number. In a car.
Some serious magic happens when you share your ride in a carpool. More money in your pocket. More time in your day from HOV lanes. More naps in your life (passengers only). More productivity from multi-tasking (again, passengers only). The key is finding a match who lives and works near you. That’s where we come in. Simply put in your details to match on our site. Your important personal information is anonymous, so you decide if you want to share the ride.
Catching the bus
is a Breeze.
No Connector? No problem. You can still catch a Breeze bus from the Carlsbad Poinsettia Station to key Carlsbad destinations. Hop on the 445 bus.
Ride the rails.
Watch the waves.
One of the world’s most beautiful train routes has two stations in Carlsbad. Ditch the bumper to bumper for a relaxing oceanfront ride to/from work on NCTD’s Coaster train. Payment options just got even easier!
A train pass that understands hybrid workers.
We know many commuters aren't coming into the office five days a week, but that shouldn't stop you from taking the train. NCTD now has a pass designed for hybrid workers!
Grab life by
the handlebars.
A staggering number of us are blending people pedal power with a hint of electric! Be sure to download this informative tip sheet when riding e-bikes. We’re looking at our neighborhoods and even hills in entirely new ways and from the comfort of two wheels. If your worksite is close enough, take the next step and try commuting to work by bike. You may also consider dodging the school drop-off traffic, parking, and stress-- by getting a kid-friendly cargo e-bike.
Great! Now what?
