Elected Leaders, Families & San Diego\u2019s Workforce Speak Out Against SANDAG\u2019s $160 Billion Transportation Plan<\/b><\/p>\n

WHAT:<\/b> Elected officials, families and San Diego\u2019s workforce come together to speak out against SANDAG\u2019s $160 billion transportation plan. The proposed taxes that will fund this project include a \u00bd cent sales tax, an MTS \u00bd cent sales tax, 2 cent regional fee for every mile driven, a new fee ($1.25 solo ride; $.65 carpool) for Uber & Lyft users and converting 819 miles of roadways into toll lanes. These new fees will greatly hurt San Diego families who already pay the highest prices to drive in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WHEN: <\/b> Thursday, December 9 @ 9:00AM<\/b><\/p>\n

WHERE:<\/b> TBD<\/span><\/p>\n

WHO:<\/b> San Diego County Supervisor, Jim Desmond<\/span><\/p>\n

Poway Mayor, Steve Vaus<\/span><\/p>\n

San Marcos Mayor, Rebecca Jones<\/span><\/p>\n

El Cajon Mayor, Bill Wells<\/span><\/p>\n

Vista Councilmember, John Franklin<\/span><\/p>\n

Oceanside Councilmember, Christopher Rodriguez<\/span><\/p>\n

President of the National Black Contractors Association, Abdur-Rahim Hameed<\/span><\/p>\n

WHY:<\/b> On Friday, December 10<\/span>th<\/span>, SANDAG will vote on a $160 billion transportation plan. The proposed project, which would be the most expensive transportation in history, does not suit the majority of San Diegans. With only 3.5% of San Diegans using public transportation, the large majority of San Diegans are left on the roadways. SANDAG\u2019s new plan abandons critical improvements promised to North and East County residents for the 78, 52 and 67, in favor of public transit for downtown San Diego.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
