SANDAG Staff Kept Elected Leaders and Public in the Dark
By Alberto Garcia
The staff and executive director of San Diego’s regional transportation planning agency failed to disclose to its board of directors and the public that it had discovered fundamental errors in its economic forecasts for transportation funding.
SANDAG, the San Diego Association of Governments, is the regional agency responsible for planning and building out the county’s roads, highways, and public transportation systems. Its 21-member board of directors is made up of mayors and councilmembers from all 18 cities in the county, in addition to members of the County Board of Supervisors.
