In 1987, voters approved the TransNet program – a half-cent sales tax to fund a variety of important transportation projects throughout the San Diego region. This 20-year, $3.3 billion transportation improvement program expired in 2008. In November 2004, 67 percent of the region’s voters supported Proposition A, which extends TransNet to 2048, thereby generating an additional $14 billion to be distributed among highway, transit, and local road projects in approximately equal thirds. In addition, it will support a robust public transportation system, including new Bus Rapid Transit services and carpool/managed lanes along many of the major freeways. Two percent of the available funds will be earmarked annually for bicycle paths and facilities, pedestrian improvements, and neighborhood safety projects. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) sets the priorities and allocates TransNet funds. (Ord. 3352 § 2, 2015; Ord. 3238 § 2 (Exh. B), 2012. Formerly 19.87.005).
