SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION of GOVERNMENTS
About SCAG
Nation’s largest Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Governed by a
Regional Council of 84 local elected officials
Nation’s Global Gateway for Trade
Recently adopted the 2012-2035 RTP/SCS
SCAG Deals With These Regional Issues
SCAG’s Primary Role in Climate Change Policy
Develop Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS)
RTP/SCS includes Integrated Land-Use and Transportation Plan
RTP/SCS must meet GHG reduction targets for 2020, 2035
First RTP/SCS adopted April 2012
Unanimous vote of the RTP/SCS by the SCAG Regional Council
A Game Changer for Southern California?
Certified by federal agencies for conformity
Achieves GHG Targets
Praised in Wall Street Journal, LA Times, Huffington Post, and more

Millennials
Rapid adoption of new communication technologies
Rapidly adapting to the “shared” economy Less interested in car and homeownership Travel fewer miles and make fewer trips Favor low-travel urban lifestyles with emphasis
on walking, cycling, ride-sharing and transit

Key Observations: 2012 RTP/SCS
Absolute demand for water still rising, but on a slower pace
Per capita demand could decrease steadily with efforts in:• Planning for more compact and
efficient development patterns• Conservation and education• Green building technology
One-size does not fit all Collaboration is key

Opportunity Areas: 2016 RTP/SCSCompact Development & Conservation
Opportunity Areas: 2016 RTP/SCSCompact Development & Conservation
Perris: Metrolink Station Area Plan Trigger high density
development Transform an existing
transit center into a transit focused mixed use hub
Redlands: Transferring Development from Greenfields to Infill Conserve open space
and natural storm water management facilities
Facilitate Infill Development

Opportunity Areas: 2016 RTP/SCSGreen Streets, Greenways & Stormwater
Management
Metro Urban Greening Plan & Toolkit Strategies to integrate
with station area improvements: park and ride lots, first-last mile
Improve groundwater infiltration and reduce the heat island effect
San Gabriel Valley Greenway Network Proposed plan to
transform 135 miles of flood control channels to active transportation freeways
Green “treatments” to filter stormwater, replenish groundwater
EXAMPLES:
Opportunity Areas: 2016 RTP/SCSOpen Space Planning & Water Quality
Commitment in the 2012-2040 RTP/SCS for an Open Space Strategic Planning process
Recently completed an Open Space Framework and Assessment, which includes a pilot conservation assessment of Prado Basin, the largest woodland riparian habitat in the SCAG region
In SCAG region, riparian and wetland habitats feature rich biodiversity but are least protected
EXAMPLE:
OCTA: Measure M2 Freeway Environmental Mitigation Program Allocates funds to
acquire land and fund habitat restoration
Streamlines freeway project approvals
Achieves multiple benefits - ecosystem preservation, hydrological function
Opportunity Areas: 2016 RTP/SCSOpen Space Planning & Water Quality
Assist Local Government to Implement SCS
• Active Transportation
• Compass Blueprint
• Green Region Initiative
$24 million awarded to support integrated planning
Opportunity Areas: 2016 RTP/SCSLocal Innovations
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (Cap & Trade)
Active Transportation Program
