Program Environmental Impact Report


SJCOG issued a Notice of Preparation on March 10, 2017 to prepare a Program EIR in accordance with the CEQA for the 2018 RTP and SCS. A public workshop was held on March 30, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. to obtain public input regarding the scope and content of the environmental analysis to be included in the Program EIR for the 2018 RTP. SJCOG issued a Notice of Availability on March 13, 2018 to release the Draft EIR for a 45-day public review and comment period, which closed on April 30, 2018.

Final Program Environmental Impact Report 
Released June 15, 2018
Under the law known as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), SJCOG must prepare a "program-level" Environmental Impact Report (Program EIR) to inform residents and decision makers of the potential environmental impacts that could result from implementing the 2018 RTP/SCS. Rather than analyze individual projects or policies, the Program EIR looks at potential environmental impacts of the Plan as a whole. Individual projects are required to separately comply with CEQA and/or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as applicable.

Please note that the Final Program EIR, in combination with the Draft EIR and its technical appendices comprise the Final EIR document.

** The SJCOG Board voted to certify the Final EIR, Adopting Mitigation Measures and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Adopting CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations for the SJCOG 2018 RTP at their meeting on June 28, 2018.**
