Transportation Committee

The Transportation Committee recommends policies to the Board of Directors related to transportation. The Committee oversees the Regional Plan and other regional transportation planning and programming efforts. It provides oversight of project schedules, costs, and scopes for the major highway, transit, regional arterial, and regional bikeway projects funded under the Regional Transportation Improvement Program, including the TransNet Program. The Transportation Committee receives input from the Mobility Working Group and Social Services Transportation Advisory Council. Recommendations of the Transportation Committee are forwarded to the Board of Directors for action.  

The Transportation Committee meetings are held at 1 p.m. on the first Friday of every other month and 9 a.m. on the third Friday of the month for approximately three hours.

New Agenda Management Software: SANDAG is transitioning to a new agenda management software to help us share meeting agendas more clearly and easily. The new system will include the opportunity to leave written comments online (learn more on our Meeting Assistance page) Agendas and meeting minutes will look slightly different. They will be available in PDF and HTML (online) format and include video bookmarking. Subscribers will continue to receive email notifications as usual. The new system will go live the week of July 14.

Past agendas and minutes for the Board and PAC meetings are in the process of being transferred to the new system. If you need help finding meeting information or have any questions or concerns, contact [email protected].
