San Diego opens future transport ‘laboratory’

The 1789 San Diego Association of Governments (Sandag) has opened a laboratory with the aim of developing a fully integrated transportation system in the US city.

The Sandag Vision Lab will serve as a collaborative space for agency staff, elected officials, working groups and industry leaders to discuss ideas, data and tools.

Additionally, Sandag has established an advisory panel to develop a transportation system that uses available and emerging technologies. It will provide input on deploying technology solutions to solve transportation problems.

Hasan Ikhrata, Sandag executive director, says: “We invite all San Diegans to visit, learn, and have a voice in the future of this bold new vision.”
