A new study conducted by Fehr & Peers, a transportation planning and engineering firm with offices in San Diego, found that workers commuting from Riverside County to San Diego County each day significantly impact the environment. The study found that the more than 53,000 people commuting from Riverside to San Diego travel an extra 1.3 billion miles per year and emit an additional 400,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide when compared to what their commute would be if they lived in homes along the I-15 corridor in North San Diego County.

This represents a significant quality of life issue and diminishing competitiveness for the San Diego region’s ability to retain its workforce.

In an effort to drive the conversation about the region’s ongoing housing shortage crisis, the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce has released a study authored by Gary London of The London Group on the implications of not meeting regional housing demand. The study confirms that the San Diego region is failing to develop the number of multifamily and single family homes needed by 2020 to accommodate population growth.
