* Projects that exceed an overall cost of $300,000 and are financed with federal or state funds;
* Projects using any TransNet funds, regardless of the project cost;
* Projects with regional implications; and
* Projects that significantly increase roadway capacity.
SANDAG has recently initiated an amendment to the 2014 RTIP and is providing the City an opportunity to submit any revisions to their Program of Projects at this time.
