Data Services & Requests
The SCAG Data Services Program started in the late 1980s with the goal of providing the preeminent source of information for Southern California. The program models an accessible and effective policy for distributing geospatial data and other information. We believe strongly in providing data services to stakeholders that we have incorporated this philosophy into the SCAG Strategic Plan.
