ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Mobility Zones Project will engage residents across the region to co-create clean, shared and active transportation infrastructure projects to address barriers to equitable mobility and reduce carbon emissions in locally-designated "mobility zones" within the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) six-county region. That includes Placer, El Dorado, Sacramento, Yolo, Yuba and Sutter counties.
What are mobility zones?
Mobility zones are neighborhood-scale areas identified as needing enhanced mobility and connectivity. These areas may have received little investment in the past, but could be highlighted to receive new projects to enhance transportation.
Why do we need mobility zones?
Defining mobility zones helps prioritize locally-specific strategies to meet the needs we hear from residents living in the zones. The community must be involved in envisioning how equitable transportation looks. Having a zone within which to develop projects helps us prioritize the projects based on community values. Ultimately, the mobility zones project intends to make it easier to pursue funding and implement projects to help people get where they need to go.
