Member Agencies & Partners
SCAG’s planning and policy initiatives involve close collaboration with members and partner organizations at the federal, state and local levels. SCAG’s partners help SCAG work more efficiently to enhance quality of life in the region.
As the largest metropolitan planning organization in the nation SCAG takes very seriously its role as liaison among city and county elected officials, urban planners and community organizations. SCAG provides members with a peer network to share experiences and work collaboratively on addressing common regional challenges. For more information, visit our Membership Benefits page.
SCAG’s policy-making process is guided by the work of three Policy Committees: Transportation; Community, Economic & Human Development; and Energy & Environment. Legislative and communications matters are reviewed by the Legislative/Communications & Membership Committee. SCAG’s operations are managed by the Executive/Administration Committee. Members of the Regional Council serve on one of three Policy Committees for two-year terms and may serve on the Legislative/Communications & Membership Committee. Learn more about SCAG’s Policy Committees.
A total of 15 subregions represent portions of Southern California with shared interests, issues and geography. Subregions play an important role as a conduit between SCAG and the cities and counties of the region by participating and providing input on SCAG’s planning activities. This involvement helps the Regional Council and its committees make better-informed decisions.
