SCAG’s Sustainability Program works actively with Southern
California communities and stakeholders to create a dynamic
regional growth vision based on the principles of mobility,
livability, prosperity and sustainability. The program’s work
focuses on implementing the region’s Sustainable Communities
Strategy, the state-mandated plan for reducing greenhouse gas
emissions from cars and light trucks through integrated
transportation, land use, housing and environmental planning.
