Decision Support Tools from SACOG

Staff Assistance available by request, for specific project issues, to each jurisdiction

For many jurisdictions, SACOG provides development reviews using the region's I-PLACE³S Decision Support Tool. SACOG staff has also assisted in using our Google Sketch-up models for Computer Simulation (3D) Planning. The visualizations are a useful tool at community workshops, where participants develop a vision for infill development.

Three other tools are available for use by citizens and member agency staff to assist with civic engagement for local and regional planning. The links below access sites containing a photo database for presentation, educational videos, and photo simulations.

To request technical support assistance, please contact us via e-mail at sacog@sacog.org.
