A regional board on Friday approved a $1.3 billion budget to support the planning and delivery of transportation infrastructure across San Diego County.
The budget, for the San Diego Association of Governments, better known as SANDAG, covers Fiscal Year 2026, beginning July 1.
“Like communities across the country, SANDAG is facing rising costs and difficult decisions,” said SANDAG Chair and Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner. “This budget focuses on the basics, making practical investments to ensure public dollars are managed responsibly as we prepare for an uncertain economic future.”
The spending plan includes more than 200 projects across the region. Here’s a breakdown of most of the allocations:
$682.9 million for the capital program, covering more than 110 projects, including highway, bike, rail, border mobility and environmental protection and preservation. $232.8 million passed to city, county and transit; the TransNet funds are for local street and road projects, new transit operations, transit system improvements and more. $104.6 million for nearly 60 planning projects and programs to help guide future transportation decisions. $86.6 million for regional operations and services, including ongoing management of key programs – the state Route 125 Toll Road, Freeway Service Patrol and the SANDAG Vanpool Program.SANDAG’s board, made up of elected officials from cities and other agencies throughout the county, also positioned the budget so local projects remain eligible for future state and federal funding.
The FY 2026 budget is backed by a combination of state (42%), federal (31%) and local funding (27%), including TransNet, the region’s voter-approved sales tax.
