*Also not totally sure what model the FRED uses so it may also just have a special permit.

Shifting terms but bear with me: many “street-legal” golf carts have blinkers and mirrors but top out at 15 MPH, so they’re not legal on SD streets.
FRED is a special golf cart NEV/LSV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle/Low-Speed Vehicle) which must be capable of 25 mph and req. DMV registration etc.

I've seen more and more popping up! Licensed and unlicensed.
I think they're a great solution for the micromobility curious but who are not ready to self propel. I have a senior neighbor who loves hers.
Unfortunately, I've seen more than one cart using the 30th St bike lane to avoid traffic 👀

Looks mostly right. I think the single dot downtown looks sus as I’m not aware of any dedicated lanes through there. You might be missing one stop at Park Blvd / Zoo Dr but it is a dedicated bus lane on only one side.

Confirm. I'm getting lost in my threads but I think you were also looking for which MTS lines have dedicated lanes
7, 10 - partial on stretch of Uni
215 - partial on stretch of Park & El Cajon Blvd
235 (mostly HWY)
225 (but I don't think meets the 15 min peak freq)
I have Stop_IDs too, just DM me.

Not the faintest idea.

Yep--only stops on the 215 with bus-only lanes are shown here (or that was the goal 😅).
I also included stops from the 7 along Park since it meets the 15-min headways at peak.

I was mixed about adding in University for that exact reason. For me, it's vague and unclear.
My understanding is that counties will be ultimately responsible for developing and providing proposed SB79 maps to the state; so it'll be interesting to see what choices are made.

Nuance: Some SB79 zones *do* overlap with proposed historic districts; but, uh... 🤷♀️

Here in core SD (shown) there are some historic districts such as Mission Hills, part of Golden Hill, and Talmadge etc. But none of those show up in the SB 79 zones. Balboa Park will obviously not turning into housing, but that’s all I can think of offhand.

SD’s potential SB79 glow up assuming these 215, 235, 7, & 10 stops qualify under § 21060.2(a)(1). FYI: I don't think the 225 meets peak frequency?
