San Diego County Transit Report Card

14 February 2002 - 3:00pm

The San Diego County Taxpayers Association reports on transportation, growth, infrastructure and finance issues of the county.

" In 1987, voters approved a half-cent sales tax increase (known as "TransNet") dedicated to regional transportation projects in an attempt to relieve congestion.With just six years left before the tax expires, voters likely will be asked to extend the TransNet tax. And again, it would be an attempt to ease continuing, indeed worsening, congestion...The nonpartisan San Diego County Taxpayers Association created a task force two years ago to study the region's transportation, growth, infrastructure and finance issues. The report card is now in, and it reveals some surprising results."
