Tools & Data
Information Resources Center
SACOG creates and maintains a tremendous quantity of data about the Sacramento region which covers El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba Counties and the cities within each county. Please note that SACOG does not cover the Tahoe Basin portions of El Dorado or Placer County nor the City of South Lake Tahoe. Those geographies are covered by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) however many data sources do not break out the Tahoe Basin separately.
Complete Streets
Complete Streets integrate people and place in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of our transportation networks by designing streets so pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders can coexist peacefully and safely. Each complete street is designed according to each community’s unique needs that will ultimately provide safe access for all users, regardless of age.
Scenario Planning Tools
SACOG is currently transitioning from the I-PLACE3S scenario planning software tool to the UrbanFootprint software tool.
If you would like more information on using Scenario Planning Tools, please contact Raef Porter.
SACOG Housing Element Data and Resources
As a service to our city and county member agencies, SACOG staff developed regional data sets to support jurisdictions’ work on their required housing element updates. The data were compiled as a part of the work SACOG is doing to explore housing programs and requirements across our region. The data collection was modeled after a similar program developed by the San Diego Association of Governments with the member local governments in support of their housing elements.
