General Assembly & Economic Summit
2026 ICTC General Assembly
The Imperial County Transportation Commission (ICTC) hosted its General Assembly on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at the historic Old Eucalyptus Schoolhouse. The event brought together regional leaders, partners, and stakeholders to discuss transportation priorities and regional collaboration.
Featured speakers included Ann Fox, Director of Caltrans District 11; Kome Ajise, Executive Director of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG); ICTC Chairman Robert Amparano; and ICTC Executive Director David Aguirre. Each speaker provided valuable insights on transportation planning, regional coordination, and future initiatives impacting Imperial County.
"This year is a big planning year for Caltrans. We'll be collaborating with your cities and the county for the public engagement phase for several planning projects... including the California Baja California Border Master Plan. This plan guides the U.S., Mexico and California with transportation investments and priorities over the next few years..."
"What we do at SCAG is a privilege... we support you all in getting your work done. When we do our best effort, we provide the capacity for cities to get their work done. We are a part of a region that is the 15th largest economy in the world. It's important to understand the gravity of the stewardship that we have to maintain this capacity and continue to make this region thrive."
The General Assembly was successful due in part to the generous support of ICTC’s event sponsors. ICTC extends its sincere appreciation to all attendees, partners, and sponsors for their continued collaboration and commitment to advancing transportation solutions in the region.
ICTC looks forward to building on this momentum and continuing this positive trajectory in the years ahead.
