About SACOG

In partnership with its 28 member cities and counties, SACOG addresses complex challenges that are too big for any one jurisdiction to solve on its own. A dedicated staff of 60 operates under the guidance of a board of directors representing each city and county.

As the sole public agency representing every regional jurisdiction, SACOG fosters collaboration and progress for an equitable, sustainable, and prosperous future. Our multifaceted support extends to local governments, addressing diverse issues such as transportation planning, funding assistance, airport planning, and housing affordability.

SACOG, designated by the Federal government as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), oversees the regional transportation plan for the Sacramento region, updated every four years in collaboration with local governments. As designated by the state of California Placer and El Dorado counties serve as Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPAs), responsible for their state-level transportation plans. SACOG, functioning as the RTPA for Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties, collaborates with Placer County Transportation Planning Agency and El Dorado County Transportation Commission to maintain consistency across county plans and the broader regional framework.
