Commissioner Naranjo announced that San Diego is set to receive $61.9 million in state  
and federal funding for 13 projects that improve mobility and safety for bicyclists,  
pedestrians, transit riders, and rail passengers. The majority of the funding will be used  
to upgrade safe bicycle and other routes in disadvantaged communities. These projects  
are part of the Active Transportation Program administered by the California  
Transportation Commission, and were selected from 434 project applications submitted  
from around the state. In addition, the SANDAG Transportation Committee heard a report  
on a study to create a transit mobility hub in San Ysidro to accommodate trolleys and  
buses in an environment that is safe and inviting for the public.  
Commisioner Naranjo then shared that SANDAG is seeking public input for the  
Sustainable Freight Implementation Strategy for San Diego and Imperial Counties to

workforce, and identify funding sources. The Portside Community Air Toxics Model and  
Risk Assessment was presented to identify pollution sources and prioritize risk reduction  
strategies. Updates to the Portside Community Steering Committee Charter were

implementation.  
Commissioner Naranjo then shared her attendance at the American Association Port  
Authorities Spring Legislative Summit, where she had meetings with several Congress

Air Strategy and update policymakers about the updated National City Balanced Plan.  
Commissioner Urtasun announced that he attended the Seatrade Cruise Global, a trade

with the Port Everglades and Disney Cruise Lines, who reported that bookings are back  
up to 2019 levels and are adding three new vessels to their fleet in 2024 and 2025. The  
industry is focused on reducing emissions while still offering an amazing vacation  
opportunity. The Port is making improvements to the terminal, and the cruise lines were  
pleased to provide valuable feedback on the conceptual design.  
H. Special Recognition

stories, answering questions and creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.  
Mr. Stuyvesant then shared that Austal hosted a tour of their new shipyard facility in  
National City for students from Sweetwater High School, as part of their commitment to

repair, and visited the weld shop. They also had the opportunity to tour the USS
