Help us shape the future!

Every four years, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) updates the plan for the region's future, Connect SoCal. This 2024 update of the plan will carefully consider the needs of our diverse population and expected challenges due to climate change.

Connect SoCal outlines strategies to help our communities thrive when it comes to mobility, housing, economy and the environment. The plan's vision acts like a compass to guide and support communities as they evolve to meet the region's collective needs.
