Oceanside, CA - Kule nyanga, iBhodi labaqondisi beSan Diego Association of Government (SANDAG) izocubungula ukwabiwa kwemali yokutholakala kwemishini yesitimela ye-COASTER. Lokhu kuzosekela ukukhuphuka kwamaza we-COASTER kusuka kuhambo lwe-22 kuye ku-42 phakathi nezinsuku futhi kuholele ekutheni izitimela zifike njalo ngemizuzu engama-30 ngezikhathi eziphakemeyo nemizuzu engama-60 ngezikhathi ezingezona eziphakeme.
Njengamanje, i- Isifunda saseNorth Transit District (NCTD) Insizakalo ye-COASTER ifaka phakathi uhambo lwama-22 njalo ngosuku lwesonto kanye nohambo olungeziwe olungeziwe lwangoLwesihlanu kusihlwa ngezindlela eziphakathi kwemizuzu engu-45 kuya ehoreni elilodwa ngesikhathi esiphakeme kanye namahora we-3.5 ngesikhathi sokuphuma. Kungumgomo we-NCTD eminyakeni emihlanu ezayo ukukhulisa amaza ezinsiza ku-COASTER kuye ekhanda eliyimizuzu engama-30.
Ukunwetshwa kolimi lokuvota lwango-2004 lweTransNet kukhombe ngokukhethekile isidingo sokwenza ngcono nokwandisa izinsizakalo ze-COASTER njengengxenye yokuthuthuka okuzoxhaswa ngemali ukuxhasa ukukhululeka kwesiminyaminya. Ngokuya ngokuthola ukuvunyelwa kwabavoti okungu-2/3 okudingekayo ukunweba isilinganiso sentela yokuthengisa yeTransNet, i-SANDAG ne-NCTD bathuthuke ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingama- $ 767 kumaphrojekthi athola inhlanganisela yoxhaso lwasekhaya, lwesifundazwe nolwezwe. Lapho iphrojekthi ye-Mid-Coast iphothulwa ngo-2021, amaphrojekthi wengqalasizinda yesitimela azobe eseqediwe ngokwanele ukuvumela i-NCTD ukuthi inyuse amaza ayo wosizo ngosuku lwesonto olujwayelekile ukusuka ezitimeleni ezingama-22 kuya kwezitimela ezingama-42 uma i-SANDAG inikela ngemali edingekayo yokuthenga imishini yezitimela yokwandisa.
Nge-Database Likazwelonke Lokuhamba, i-COASTER ifinyelele kumamayela abagibeli baminyaka yonke abangama-38,461,097 e-FY 17 ngokususelwa ekugibeleni / kuhambo oluyizigidi eziyi-1.45. Amamayela abagibeli baminyaka yonke ku-COASTER anciphisa ngqo amamayela ezimoto ezihanjwe ku-Interstate 5 esekela izinhloso zomhlaba jikelele ukunciphisa ukukhishwa. Uma i-SANDAG ivuma uxhaso lwezimoto zokunweba ze-COASTER, i-NCTD iphrojusa abagibeli abengeziwe be-1,290 nsuku zonke onyakeni wokuqala wenkonzo, ikhula kancane kancane ibalelwa kubagibeli bansuku zonke abalinganiselwa ku-4,060 ngonyaka wokugcina wenkonzo kanye nokwehliswa okuthe xaxa kumamayela ezimoto ahanjwe ku-I -5.
Ibhodi labaPhathi be-NCTD likwesekela ngokuqinile ukwabiwa kwemali ukuxhasa ukuthengwa kwezitimela ezimbili ezintsha. USihlalo weBhodi le-NCTD kanye noMkhandlu we-City of Encinitas Councilmember Tony Kranz uthe, “Abakhokhi bentela batshale imali engaphezu kwezigidi ezingama- $ 767 ukwenza ngcono umzila wesitimela futhi babeke eceleni imali yokusebenzisa amaza we-COASTER andile. Imali eyengeziwe edingekayo evela kwa-SANDAG yokutshala kulezi zitimela ezimbili ze-COASTER izoletha esithembisweni esenziwa ngo-2004 lapho abavoti bevuma ukwelulwa kweTransNet. Egameni leBhodi le-NCTD, ngikhuthaza kakhulu iBhodi labaQondisi be-SANDAG ukuthi yabele imali edingekayo ukuxhasa ukwenyuka kwama-COASTER. ”
I-NCTD ilinganisela ukuthi ingakwazi ukusebenzisa izinsizakalo ezintsha eminyakeni emithathu ezayo uma imali ivunywa yi-SANDAG.
