Abstract:The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) is an association of local governments formed by six counties and eighteen cities. SACOG serves the Counties of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba and the Cities of Auburn, Citrus Heights, Davis, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Isleton, Lincoln, Live Oak, Marysville, Rocklin, Roseville, Sacramento, West Sacramento, Wheatland, Winters, Woodland and Yuba City. SACOG serves as an advisory agency to local government on matters of interjurisdictional concern. Under federal law, SACOG is responsible for long-range transportation planning and has developed a comprehensive planning program. Most of this area is designated a "federal non-attainment area for ozone," meaning that the transportation system is required to meet stringent air quality emissions budgets to reduce levels of pollutants that contribute to ozone formation. To receive federal or state funding, projects nominated by cities, counties, and agencies must be consistent with the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). Looking forward to 2025, the state forecasts the region's population to reach 2.8 million, a 49 percent increase. With that comes a 54 percent increase in travel-unless land development proceeds differently than it has in the past. This MTP seeks to promote development that is less dependent on autos, increase transit service and use, control the spread and amount of congestion, attain clean air, and rein in urban sprawl. 109p.
