Project Overview

Advancing clean, shared, and active transportation investments in equity-priority communities

Mobility Zones is a program advancing clean, shared, and active transportation investments in equity-priority communities. The program focuses on 10 neighborhood-sized zones across the six-county SACOG region with high transportation and equity need. Mobility Zones prioritizes projects that improve mobility within each zone and has funding to implement some of the prioritized projects. This work, including zone identification and project prioritization, is carried out in partnership with Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and community leaders.

Civic Thread, a nonprofit organization that empowers residents in institutionally underserved communities to achieve healthy built environments, partners with SACOG to lead community engagement for Mobility Zones.

There are ten Phase 1 Mobility Zones across the six-county SACOG region.

Carefully selected through rigorous analysis and extensive engagement with community leaders and agency partners, these ten Phase 1 Mobility Zones are the focal points for innovative transportation solutions that meet the unique needs of SACOG’s diverse communities. Adopted by the SACOG Board in May 2025.

Boundaries for Phase 1 Zones

The Phase 1 Mobility Zones reflect community input and collaboration with local partners. Using feedback from public sessions, stakeholder meetings, and data analysis, we've identified areas where targeted mobility improvements can make the biggest difference.

NEW! Use this link or the interactive map below to explore Zone boundaries and view our preliminary analysis of Anchor Areas.

Anchor Areas are places within each Mobility Zone where we see a cluster of travel activity and transportation needs. While we're continuing to analyze the entire Zone, these areas help us take a closer look at current conditions, so we can identify projects that are most feasible and impactful. Anchor Corridors are some of the key connections between these areas, where we’re also exploring ways to improve how people move around. (Updated May 2025)

Mobility Zones Analysis

Our team has taken a deep dive into the data—and the real-world experience behind it—to shape the Mobility Zones. We’re not just analyzing numbers; we’re grounding this work in local conditions, community insights, and close collaboration with our jurisdictional partners. We’re proud to share some of that work here.

23 Mobility Zones Needs Profiles (Completed January 2025)

These profiles were developed to support the selection of the 10 Phase 1 Mobility Zones. They highlight each Zone’s key transportation challenges, land use context, demographic conditions, and relevant maps. This analysis helped our Committees and Task Force prioritize the Zones where our work could be most meaningful and impactful. 23 Mobility Zones Needs Profiles

10 Phase 1 Mobility Zone Needs Profiles (Completed May 2025)

These profiles take a closer look at conditions in the selected Phase 1 Zones—focusing on walking, biking, safety, public transit, and access to key destinations. They provide a foundation for project prioritization, community engagement, and SACOG Board decisions. 10 Phase 1 Mobility Zones Needs Profiles

Vision and Goals

The Mobility Zones program envisions a new model for equity-centered, community co-created infrastructure project development that reinvents how regional transportation projects are prioritized for state and federal investment in the SACOG region.
