Critical projects that will be funded include the Youth Opportunity Pass program Blue Line and Purple Line, six bikeway projects and San Dieguito Lagoon Double Track and Platform.
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Board of Directors voted to approve a Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 budget amendment on Oct. 27. The amendment adds $643 million in federal, state and local revenue to advance more than 30 projects throughout the San Diego region over the next five years.
Since the SANDAG Board approved the FY24 Annual Program Budget in May, SANDAG has received additional state and federal funds and an increase in revenue collection. The budget amendment was brought to the board to allocate the revenue to projects in the budget.
“These investments will improve the lives of everyone across our county by increasing accessibility and enhancing all our region has to offer. I’m proud of the work that we are doing at SANDAG to deliver on our commitments to the people of the San Diego region through a lens of equity and inclusion,” said SANDAG and San Diego County Board of Supervisor Chairwoman Nora Vargas. “Today’s action is proof that we are getting things done. Whether you drive, ride, walk or roll – there is something for you in this budget amendment.”
Critical projects that will be funded include:
Youth Opportunity Pass program (extended two more years)
