San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is the regional transportation planning agency based out of San Diego.
The Union-Tribune newspaper reported yesterday that SANDAG is doing a 180 degree turn on serious planning for building a people mover from San Diego International Airport to the trolley (light rail system).
This comes on the heels of the ousting of a pro-transit head of SANDAG. The new head honcho - Mario Orso - is very, very, very likely the guy who killed the long-promised project.
It f**king kills me. San Diego is perhaps the 7th or 8th largest city in the good ol’ USA and our local governmental agencies continue to deprive the population of such a long needed rail-to-airport connection.
SANDAG says it has to analyze some new data and should have something to say about the issue sometime in late 2025.
Typical SANDAG. Historically it has been pro freeway, anti transit expansion.
