Regional Funding Programs

Every two years, SACOG conducts a programming round to allocate funds to projects based on apportionments of regional Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP), and State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds. These funds are programmed through the Air Quality, Bicycle & Pedestrian, Community Design, Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and Regional/Local funding programs. Please see below to learn more about each program and to see previously selected projects.

Project applications are solicited from public agencies and their partners located in Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba Counties. Jurisdictions in El Dorado and Placer Counties apply through the El Dorado County Transportation Commission and the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency, respectively.

During the 2010 programming round, SACOG received 79 applications requesting $197 million in programming from the $92 million in available funds. The SACOG Board of Directors approved the proposed project list on January 21, 2010. View Board item.
