This type of policy has important and worrisome consequences. To begin, it essentially pushes other Regional Plan projects that would more effectively address VMT, GHG, and other goals further into the future when it is worthwhile to build them earlier. Just as important, it locks up very flexible state and federal funds that could otherwise be invested in more innovative projects that advance achievement of these goals more effectively. Fortunately, SANDAG has the latitude to adjust its scheduling of projects, and has done so. One notable example where SANDAG has taken advantage of this was with the addition of the Sprinter to both TransNet and the EAP.[31] Another was the acquisition of the State Route 125 Toll Road that utilized TransNet funds to purchase a new facility and reduce the scope of the I-805 project – thereby adding a project to TransNet and reducing the scope of another in one action.[32]
