2021 Regional transportation plan

Every four years, SANDAG prepares and updates a Regional Plan in collaboration with the 18 cities and County of San Diego along with regional, state, and federal partners. The Plan answers questions like: What do we want our region to look like in 2050 and beyond? Where will we live? How will we get around? How can we grow in a way that fuels our economy, preserves our environment, takes everyone's needs into account, and still maintains our quality of life? San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan tackles these questions and provides a blueprint for a sustainable future for the San Diego region.  Learn more about the plan by attending our meetings to hear how El Cajon Collaborative and other Community-based Organizations throughout San Diego County are sharing your voice and ensuring that social equity, sustainability and data-driven decisions are considered in every aspect of the new and bold Regional Plan.

For educational videos and webinars, visit sdforward.com/vision-goals/community-input and see how you can participate. Check out SANDAG's new videos on their sdforward.com/library/videos page.

​WEAR RED TO WORK DAY--February 7, 2020

We're celebrating National Wear Red to Work Day today at Little House to help bring awareness to cardiovascular disease, particularly in women. Symptoms can vary between men and women and it is the number 1 cause of death for women. Check your blood pressure, exercise and eat healthy. #heartdisease.

TRANSIT TRAINING AND OLD TOWN HISTORY
JANUARY 2020

El Cajon Collaborative hosted a day excursion on the San Diego Trolley as a part of a transit training for families who do not speak English as their primary language.  The excursion brought together families from the Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI) El Cajon program who had never used the transit system before.  Translation was provided in both Spanish and Arabic by staff of BLCI and HHSA-East Region provided the transit passes.  Docents were available at the park to teach the families what life was like when San Diego was first settled.  ​
