Metropolitan Planning Organization for Stanislaus County

 

Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG), the federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the county of Stanislaus, is located in the San Joaquin Valley.  StanCOG adopted its first Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) in 2014.

The transportation and land use policies identified in the 2022 RTP/SCS are intended to reduce the distance that residents will need to drive to their jobs and amenities. Calling for a greater proportion of multi-family housing, and more mixed-use and infill development, StanCOG’s SCS would result in consumption of less farmland, higher residential densities, and more jobs and houses located near transit than historical trends. Projects funded in the 2022 RTP/SCS are designed to increase transit service frequencies and provide better connections to transit services. In addition, the region has allocated funds to begin planning a bus rapid transit service.
