SBCTA Board Elects 2020-2021 Leadership
The SBCTA Board of Directors elected Colton Mayor Frank Navarro as Board President and Barstow Mayor Julie McIntyre as Vice President at their June Board of Directors meeting.

Mayor Navarro served as Board Vice-President for the 2019-2020 year. He was elected Vice-President in December 2018, following Grand Terrace Mayor Darcy McNaboe ascending to Board President after County Supervisor James stepped down to take a seat in the California State Assembly. President Navarro has served on the Colton City Council since 2012, he was elected Mayor in 2018 and has served on the SBCTA Board since 2013. The Board of Directors also elected Barstow Mayor Julie Hackbarth-McItnyre to serve as Board Vice-President for the 2020-2021 year. Mayor McIntyre was elected to the Barstow City Council in 2006, she was elected Mayor in 2012 and has served on the SBCTA Board since 2009.
Last month, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority’s (SBCTA) Transit Committee took action to recommend that the Board of Directors place a hold on the Rail Access to Ontario International Airport (ONT) Alternatives Analysis (AA) while SBCTA staff further examines the innovative solution of tunneling as a method for connectivity to the airport. The committee action was predicated by elements offered in an unsolicited proposal submitted by The Boring Company (TBC) for constructing a tunnel from ONT to a spot along the Metrolink San Bernardino Line as a public transit link to the airport. On June 3, the SBCTA Board of Directors voted unanimously to support this recommendation.
At the June Board of Directors meeting, out-going Board President Darcy McNaboe announced her appointments to the new SBCTA Legislative Policy Committee (LPC).

Early in the 2020 State Legislative session, bills were introduced that inspired a greater involvement by the SBCTA Board of Directors. There were two bills of critical importance that were introduced, AB 2011 (Holden) and SB 1390 (Portantino). Although multiple Board members wished to provide insight and feedback on the legislative proposals, their participation was restricted in these discussions to avoid any conflict with California’s Brown Act open meeting law.
