REAP-Funded Calexico Intermodal Transportation Center Opens, Marking Major Milestone for Regional Mobility
On May 11, regional and local leaders celebrated a ribbon cutting to officially open the Calexico Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC), a project that creates mobility, safety, and sustainability benefits in Imperial County.
Located in downtown Calexico, the Calexico ITC consolidates public and private transportation services into a centralized hub, supporting zero-emission transportation and strengthening connections for residents, businesses, and cross-border travelers.
SCAG contributed $1 million to the project through the Regional Early Action Planning Grant of 2021 (REAP 2.0) to support site acquisition. SCAG has partnered on the project for more than a decade, including funding a 2014 feasibility study with Caltrans, the Imperial County Transportation Commission, and the city of Calexico to identify and evaluate the project site.
The completion of the Calexico ITC highlights the impact of strategic collaboration and sustained investment, underscoring the importance of continued funding for programs like REAP 2.0, which funds a variety of efforts to increase housing production and connect housing and transportation.
