| | ET 1/2000: Lovely RITA |
 | | The dialogue, for the most part, was focused on RITA, the proposed Regional Infrastructure and Transportation Agency, which would, for the first time, bring directly accountable regional planning to San Diego County. |
 | | SANDAG is an agent of growth, and no matter how much those who currently benefit from the lack of comprehensive regional planning would spin otherwise, regional planning has yet to be attempted in San Diego county, other than to plan the overdevelopment of the region. |
 | | Under RITA, those overseeing the anticipated increase in rail and freeway traffic will be accountable to voters, which the NCTD board is not. |
