SANDAG Ballot Update
The SANDAG Board of Directors voted last Friday, July 8 to place the San Diego County Road Repair, Transit, Traffic Relief, Safety and Water Quality measure on the November ballot.

- $4.3 billion for local infrastructure projects
- $2.6 billion for highways, carpool/managed lanes, and connectors
- $7.5 billion to build and operate transit
- $2 billion for open space
- $540 million for active transportation
