In March 2008, NCTD launched its newest addition, the east-west SPRINTER light rail. The 22-mile rail system connects Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, and Escondido, serving 15 stations along the Highway 78 corridor.

The SPRINTER runs every 30 minutes in each direction Monday through Friday, from approximately 4 am to 9 pm. Friday and Saturday trains run later.

Saturday/Sunday/holiday trains operate every 30 minutes between 10 am and 6 pm and hourly before 10 am and after 6 pm.
