The Department of Transportation California (Caltrans) received a $7,425,000 Project Grant award on January 8, 2025 from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205 - Highway Planning and Construction) to advance planning, engineering, design, and project development activities addressing transportation barriers in federally designated disadvantaged communities within the SACOG region of California. The project, known as the Green Zone Access and Equity Regional Planning Project, will focus on nine locally prioritized transportation facilities that currently bisect existing neighborhoods and limit economic and transportation mobility. As a sub-awardee, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) will collaborate on this regional planning effort to improve infrastructure access and equity across Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties.
