SANDAG regularly
hosts meetings that are open to the public. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are providing opportunities to join us virtually to learn about and share ideas as the 2021 Regional Plan is developed. Other ways to provide comments and stay connected are detailed below.

Community input is critical to creating a Regional Plan that reflects the varied values, needs, and interests of the San Diego region's residents and businesses. The input gathered from thousands of people throughout 2018—through a series of open houses and subregional community conversations, Community-Based Organization outreach events, Board and policy committee workshops, surveys, and digital platforms—provided a foundation to develop the vision for the 2021 Regional Plan. SANDAG used this input and comprehensive travel data to identify transportation challenges throughout the region and then applied innovative planning techniques to identify solutions that could provide us with faster, more equitable, and environmentally sustainable ways of getting around. Ongoing stakeholder and industry engagement shaped the vision for the 2021 Regional Plan.
Public involvement efforts are guided by two key efforts detailed below.
In May 2019, SANDAG updated the
Public Involvement Plan (PIP) for the 2021 Regional Plan. The PIP guides the public outreach strategies used to develop the Regional Plan. The PIP was informed by input obtained throughout the development of the 2015 Regional Plan, including feedback from the SANDAG Board of Directors, Policy Advisory Committees, working groups, tribal governments, surveys, a wide variety of communications experts, and our regional stakeholders and partners, including a network of Community-Based Organizations.
To reach out to community members who have traditionally been underserved and underrepresented in the planning process, SANDAG partnered with 12 Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) from around the region who serve these vulnerable populations. These CBOs serve as liaisons to engage stakeholders from low-income communities, limited-English-speaking populations, the disabled community, and seniors to ensure that their voices are heard, and their concerns are considered in the 2021 Regional Plan.
