Each quarter, SANDAG issues a transportation progress report to its Board of Directors to keep them apprised of the many projects underway in the region. By leveraging state, federal, and local TransNet dollars, SANDAG funds transportation improvements and services designed to give commuters more choices and reduce growing traffic congestion.
Information for January to March 2010 is available below. More project information can be found on the TransNet Dashboard posted at www.KeepSanDiegoMoving.com. The Dashboard provides a database of information on project budget, tracking expenditures against budget schedule, status, and other updates on the TransNet Early Action projects. The TransNet Dashboard is updated monthly.
