San Bernardino Associated Governments, which is more commonly recognized by its acronym—SANBAG, is widely known as the transportation-planning agency for the County of San Bernardino and its 24 incorporated cities.
The agency led the construction of the 210 Freeway, and, over the years, it has partnered with Caltrans, the County, and cities to fund scores of other transportation improvements, ranging from the $723-million widening of I-215 through San Bernardino to about $1 million to repave some mountain roads.
