Oceanside, CA - Kule nyanga, iBhodi yabaLawuli yoMbutho wooRhulumente baseSan Diego (SANDAG) iya kuthathela ingqalelo ukwabiwa kwemali yokufumana ukwanda kwezixhobo zikaloliwe ze-COASTER. Oku kuyakuxhasa ukwanda kwamaza e-COASTER ukusuka ku-22 ukuya kuma-42 kuhambo phakathi evekini kwaye kukhokelela koololiwe abafika rhoqo kwimizuzu engama-30 ngexesha lokuphakama kunye nemizuzu engama-60 ngexesha lokungaxakekanga.
Okwangoku Sithili saseNorthern County Transit (NCTD) Inkonzo ye-COASTER ibandakanya ii-22 zokuhamba ngeenxa zonke evekini kunye neehambo ezine ezongeziweyo rhoqo ngolwesiHlanu ebusuku zihamba phakathi kwemizuzu engama-45 ukuya kwiyure enye ngexesha lokuphakama kunye neeyure ezingama-3.5 ngexesha lokuphakama. Yinjongo ye-NCTD kule minyaka mihlanu izayo ukonyusa ukuhamba kweenkonzo kwi-COASTER ukuya kwi-30 yemizuzu yentloko.
Ulwandiso lolwimi luka-2004 lweTransNet luchonge ngokukodwa isidingo sokuphucula kunye nokwandisa iinkonzo ze-COASTER njengenxalenye yophuculo oluza kuxhaswa ngemali ukuxhasa uxinano kwingxinano. Ngokusekwe ekufezekiseni ukuvunywa kwe-2/3 yokuvota efunekayo ukwandisa umlinganiselo werhafu yokuthengisa iTransNet, i-SANDAG kunye ne-NCTD iqhubele phambili ngaphezulu kwe- $ 767 yezigidi kwiiprojekthi ezifumanise indibaniselwano yengingqi, kurhulumente, kunye nenkxaso mali. Xa i-Mid-Coast Project iqukunjelwa ngo-2021, iiprojekthi zeziseko zomgaqo kaloliwe ziya kugqitywa ngokwaneleyo ukuvumela i-NCTD ukuba inyuse isantya sokuhamba kwayo ngeentsuku eziphakathi evekini ukusuka koololiwe abangama-22 ukuya koololiwe abangama-42 ukuba i-SANDAG ibonelela ngenkxaso-mali efunekayo yokuthenga izixhobo zoololiwe.
Kwiziko ledatha lokuHamba likaZwelonke, i-COASTER ifikelele kwi-38,461,097 yeekhilomitha zabagibeli ngonyaka kwi-FY 17 esekwe kwi-1.45 yezigidi zokukhwela / uhambo. Iikhilomitha zabakhweli zonyaka kwi-COASTER zinciphisa ngokuthe ngqo iimayile zeemoto ezihanjiswe kwi-Interstate 5 exhasa iinjongo zelizwe ngokubanzi zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa. Ukuba i-SANDAG ivuma inkxaso-mali yokwandisa izithuthi ze-COASTER, iiprojekthi ze-NCTD ezongezelelweyo ze-1,290 abakhweli bemihla ngemihla kunyaka wokuqala wenkonzo, inyuka ngokuthe chu ukuya kuqikelelo lwe-4,060 abakhweli bemihla ngemihla kunyaka wokugqibela wenkonzo kunye nokuncitshiswa okungaphezulu kweemayile zeemoto ezihanjiweyo kwi-I -5.
IBhodi yabaLawuli be-NCTD ixhasa ngamandla ulwabiwo lwenkxaso mali ukuxhasa ukuthengwa koololiwe ababini abatsha. Usihlalo weBhodi ye-NCTD kunye nesiXeko se-Encinitas Councilmember Tony Kranz uthe, “Abarhafi batyale imali engaphezulu kwe-767 yezigidi zeedola ukuphucula umzila kaloliwe kwaye babekele bucala imali yokusebenzisa ii-COASTER. Inkxaso-mali eyongezelelweyo efunekayo kwi-SANDAG yokutyala imali kwezi koololiwe zimbini ze-COASTER ziya kuzisa kwisithembiso esenziwa kwi-2004 xa abavoti bevuma ukwandiswa kweTransNet. Egameni leBhodi ye-NCTD, ndiyikhuthaza kakhulu iBhodi yabaLawuli be-SANDAG ukuba yabele inkxaso-mali eyimfuneko ukuxhasa ii-COASTER.
I-NCTD iqikelela ukuba inokuphumeza iinkonzo ezintsha kwiminyaka emithathu ezayo ukuba inkxaso-mali yamkelwe yi-SANDAG.
