Budget

The annual SANDAG Program Budget sets out our planned activities, illustrates how our work aligns with the priorities of our member agencies, and positions us to serve the region through the delivery of major infrastructure projects, policy initiatives, and regional services.

At its May 10, 2024, meeting, the SANDAG Board of Directors will be asked to approve a $1.3 billion program budget for FY 2025 beginning July 1, 2024. The budget was shaped by our strategic plan to best achieve our vision, mission, guiding principles, and core values. Much of the work planned over the next year will focus on implementing the 2021 Regional Plan through critical regional projects: The Airport Transit Connection, LOSSAN Corridor improvements, Blue Line improvements, the regional bike network, toll operations, and more.
