Coaster, Amtrak Service Canceled From Storm

Coaster and Amtrak train service between Oceanside and San Diego was canceled today due to the storm pattern that has hammered San Diego County for almost a week.

According to the North County Transit District, the closure will stay in effect until further notice.

The severe weather conditions also impacted the Sprinter light rail line between the Oceanside Transit Center and the El Camino Real Station today.

This morning, the NCTD launched a "bus bridge'' to help Sprinter users bypass the Coast Highway and Crouch Street stations.

Breeze bus routes 306, 331 and 101 were also canceled, and users of other Breeze bus routes were advised to expect delays due to local road closures.

Early today, the California Highway Patrol reported partial or full closures of the following streets and highways:

KPBS has created a public safety coverage policy to guide decisions on what stories we prioritize, as well as whose narratives we need to include to tell complete stories that best serve our audiences. This policy was shaped through months of training with the Poynter Institute and feedback from the community. You can read the full policy here.
