SANDAG Issues Statements Regarding New Toll Operations Investigation Findings

SANDAG and San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Nora Vargas and SANDAG CEO Mario Orso issue official statements following the release of two Office of the Independent Performance Auditor investigations:

"As Chair of the SANDAG Board, transparency and accountability are my top priorities," said SANDAG Chairwoman Vargas. "The recent Office of the Independent Performance Auditor report on SR125 is crucial in shaping our future decisions. I'm committed to ensuring public funds are used effectively and efficiently. Our community will be kept informed throughout every stage of our process. At SANDAG, accountability is a core value that we will continue to uphold."

"Transparency, oversight, and accountability in all agency operations remains our top priority and ensuring the integrity of our toll operations is a critical piece of that commitment," said SANDAG CEO Orso. "We cooperated fully with the Office of the Independent Performance Auditor on these investigations and the latest findings are consistent with what we have been implementing and telling the Board about. We have an update scheduled for our Board this week to share a realistic schedule and the actions we are taking to make sure we have the appropriate system requirements, due diligence, and oversight in place going forward - many of which mirror the recommendations made by the auditor.
