Public Participation Plan

Among its many roles, SJCOG serves as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), and Local Transportation Sales Tax Authority for San Joaquin County. Public participation is essential to the integrated approach to regional transportation, land use, and environmental planning led by the agency. Whether you are a member of SJCOG or a private citizen, you have a role to play in regional planning decisions. The Public Participation Plan provides a mechanism for bringing a broad range of diverse viewpoints and values in SJCOG's activities and programs.

Public Participation Plan

SJCOG's Public Participation Plan (PPP) was developed in compliance with Federal and State legislation. The PPP informs interested residents on how to engage in the range of SJCOG’s planning work and funding allocations.

2024 Public Participation Plan

The SJCOG Board of Directors adopted the 2024 Public Participation Plan and Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy PPP Appendix A on March 28, 2024. The report also includes the documented process that outlines the roles, responsibilities, and key decision points for consulting with federally recognized Tribal governments in San Joaquin County in Appendix I. Although consultation is not mandated for non-federally recognized tribes, SJCOG routinely consults with known tribes when plans or activities might impact cultural values or the community.
