Below is some background information provided by SANDAG regarding the noted Item, along
with an attached flyer.
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is the region's primary public planning,
transportation, and research agency. SANDAG also administers TransNet, the voter- approved half -cent
sales tax for transportation. This program has supported completion of more than 650 highway, transit,
bike and pedestrian, habitat conservation, local street repair, and grantprojects and programs that have
kept San Diego moving forward. In October 2015, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved San Diego
Forward: The Regional Plan after three years of extensive public engagement. The Regional Plan is a
path forward for San Diego County that will build on and add more choices to our region's
transportation system, SANDAG is currently considering a ballot measure that would raise funds to help
implement the Plan, and possibly support other needed infrastructure throughout the region. If the
SANDAG Board decides to place a measure on the ballot, it would ask voters in San Diego County to
increase our local sales tax by up to one -half cent. SANDAG is requesting an opportunity to present to
the Chula Vista Planning Commission to highlight projects planned in south San Diego County, describe
what might be included in an expenditure plan for a ballot measure, and what steps are being taken to
engage the public.
