Welcome to our newest members!
SACOG
The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) is an association of local governments in the six-county Sacramento region. Its members include the counties of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, Yuba and the 22 cities within. SACOG provides transportation planning and funding for the region, and serves as a forum for the study and resolution of regional issues. In addition to preparing the region’s long-range transportation plan, SACOG approves the distribution of affordable housing in the region and assists in planning for transit, bicycle networks, clean air and airport land uses. Notable initiatives include the Green Region Plan– for reducing transportation emissions and addressing regional mobility issues – and Green Means Go – Sacramento Region’s Greenhouse Reduction Pilot Program, among numerous others. Learn more about their Regional Plans here and Projects here.
Renee DeVere-Oki, Program Manager for SACOG, will serve as the primary representative for CRC.

County of Placer
In January, the Placer County Board of Supervisors approved the first-ever Placer County Sustainability Plan (PCSP) – a road map to meet California’s greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and reduce the county’s vulnerability to climate risks like worsening wildfire severity. And more recently in June, the PCSP was selected by the Sacramento Valley Section APA for the Award of Merit in the category of Innovation in Green Community Planning!
