Today, graffiti is a sign of urban decay. It has become everyone's eyesore. Graffiti generates fear of neighborhood crime and instability. It is costly, destructive, lowers property value and is against the law. City Departments expend almost $1 million on graffiti eradication efforts per year. These funds could be used for public safety, City beautification efforts or additional parks and recreation programs.

SB TAAG is a multi-faceted endeavor which involves various City departments, local agencies and the community. The mission of SB TAAG is to decrease the presence of graffiti in the City to add greater incentive for business owners and families to call San Bernardino "home."
