Fall SRP Proposal Abstract

The San Diego Regional Transportation Plan for 2050 is currently being updated by San Diego Association of Governments and is creating the very first Sustainable Communities Strategy. Sustainable San Diego Coalition is a collaborative organization bringing advocacy organizations together to develop regional planning messages to provide input. The Coalition is currently in the process of formalizing its structure to be in a better position to support the organizations of San Diego. This paper identifies the social and political process involved. It is believed that collaborative planning is most effective in ensuring equitable distribution of transportation funding. However, through data collection from case studies, planning documents, Sustainable San Diego Coalition meetings and SANDAG meetings this study shows SANDAG and the coalition have differing visions for the future transportation plans currently being proposed for a number of reasons which include they define the needs for the region using different methodological monitoring, and they have differing agendas. This paper argues that the processes and structures involved in the case studies constitute an ideal model for future efforts in collaborative planning for the San Diego Region.

Winter Senior Research Project (SRP) Abstract

The San Diego Regional Transportation Plan for 2050 is currently being updated by San Diego Association of Governments and is creating the very first Sustainable Communities Strategy. Sustainable San Diego Coalition is a collaborative organization bringing advocacy organizations together to develop regional planning messages to provide input. The Coalition is currently in the process of formalizing its structure to be in a better position to support the organizations of San Diego. This paper identifies the social and political process involved. It is believed that collaborative planning is most effective in ensuring equitable distribution of transportation funding. However, through data collection from case studies, planning documents, Sustainable San Diego Coalition meetings and SANDAG meetings this study shows SANDAG and the coalition have differing visions for the future transportation plans currently being proposed for a number of reasons which include they define the needs for the region using different methodological monitoring, and they have differing agendas. This paper argues that the processes and structures involved in the case studies constitute an ideal model for future efforts in collaborative planning for the San Diego Region.
