2025 Blueprint Focus Groups
Insights Directly from Regional Residents
This spring, SACOG hosted a series of focus groups to gain insights directly from our region’s residents to help inform policy discussions around creating the vision, setting priorities, and developing strategies for the 2025 Blueprint update. The purpose of the focus groups (conducted in both English and Spanish) is to gauge residents’ priorities with respect to housing, road pricing, perceptions of safety, and public health through a nuanced, guided discussion.

The Built Environment Poll
(2023)
The Built Environment Poll provides a comprehensive overview of the public’s priorities regarding their built environment, specifically in areas such as transportation, housing, telework, safety perceptions, and public health. Valley Vision and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), in collaboration with the Institute for Social Research at Sacramento State, spearheaded this poll as a joint project.
