Otay Mesa East Toll Facility Act Environmental Mitigation Toll Revenues

Abstract

The Otay Mesa East Toll Facility Act authorizes the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to carry out a construction project for the State Highway Route 11 corridor, including, among other things, highway improvements and international border crossing facilities, to be operated as a toll facility. Existing law authorizes SANDAG to fix and revise from time to time and charge and collect tolls and other charges for entrance to or the use of the corridor, as provided. Existing law authorizes toll revenues to be used for specified costs, including, among other things, payments of a cooperative tolling agreement with the federal government of Mexico. This bill would authorize those toll revenues to additionally be used for environmental mitigation and restoration of the Tijuana River Valley and adjoining lands, as specified. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of San Diego.
