Some of the important statistics are: NCTD serves 12 million riders a year; they have 165 buses on 53 fixed routes; they operate 35 Coaster cars and locomotives that provide 118 trips per week. The Sprinter project bringing light rail along the Highway 78 corridor is on schedule to be completed by December 2007. Along with 22 miles of track and the 15 passenger platforms, a maintenance facility has been constructed in Escondido to house and support the trains. Every day the Sprinter will make 64 train trips between Oceanside and Escondido running every 30 minutes from 5 AM – 9 PM. The expected rider ship for the Sprinter will be over 10,000 the first year increasing to 15,200 by 2015. The final cost for the Sprinter will be approximately 450 – 484 million dollars. Marketing Committee – Diane Strand, Committee Chair, briefed the Board on activities of the committee. A new Outlook publication is planned for sometime in the 3rd quarter. It will be a look at North County in the year 2020 with input from a number of business and community leaders along with thoughts from our elected officials. Also, the committee is looking at producing a video or television program that will look at the business clusters and have interviews with business leaders that will be carried on a variety of public access or commercial stations. Public Policy Committee – Paul O'Neal, Committee Chair, reported on the status of the SANDAG Energy Working Group and the recommendations from Paul's subcommittee to take no position on the current energy transmission projects currently being reviewed. The SANDAG Board voted to accept the recommendation and took no position. Congratulations to Paul on the outstanding work and representation on behalf of the SDNEDC. |
| Introducing SDG&E's Energy Saver Bonus Program |
| On February 1, SDG&E®
kicked off a new program to help you save energy and take greater
control of your energy costs this year. The Energy Saver Bonus offers a special one-time cash bonus to qualifying businesses that save energy year-round, and during critical times this summer, by participating in both an Energy Efficiency AND Demand Response program for smaller businesses from February 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007. Year-Round Savings (Energy Efficiency) Small Business Super Saver has cash rebates for small business customers installing energy-efficient equipment. In many cases, customers may qualify for equipment upgrades at no cost. Two Summer Savings Programs to Choose From (Demand Response) The Peak Day Credit program has been improved so it's easier to qualify for bill credits during hot summer days. Now, all you need is a minimum of 10% energy reduction when requested, and you will receive a bill credit equal to what you save (up to 20%). OR: The Summer Saver program provides an annual bill credit when you agree to have your central air conditioning unit cycled off and on for a few hours on select summer days. The annual credit varies based on the size and number of air units at your business. Don't pass up this cash incentive. Call your contractor today to find out how you can qualify. Visit www.sdge.com/energysaverbonus for more information or call 1-800-644-6133. Helping your business save energy is one of the ways SDG&E is developing energy solutions to help the region. |
