How much does the region spend on transportation every year?
It varies quite a bit depending on the projects making their way through the pipeline, but the region typically spends between $1.5 to $2.0 billion annually on transportation.
Pathway Options to 2050
To better understand how the land use and transportation decisions we make today will affect the future and to help identify strategies that can remain durable across a range of futures despite changing and disruptive uncertainties, SACOG is undertaking a scenario planning effort, referred to as Pathways, as part of the process for the 2025 Blueprint.
Innovating the Call for Projects Process
SACOG staff are working with transportation project sponsors to review and nominate projects for the region’s long range transportation project list as part of developing the 2024 Blueprint, previously the Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy or MTP/SCS. Once every 4 years, SACOG asks transportation project sponsors to review their project details to help us build the region’s long range transportation project list. For this update, our plan horizon year is 2050.
