The State of California legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 375 in 2008, which requires all of our state’s metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), including SBCAG, to develop a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) when they update their Regional Transportation Plan. The primary goal of SB 375 and the SCS is to coordinate transportation and land-use planning at the local and regional level in ways that will reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and help meet important public needs. The SCS always includes recommendations for land-use and transportation that are consistent with predictions about future growth and housing needs in the region.
