Environmental Justice

As a government agency that receives federal funding, SCAG is responsible for implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and conforming to federal environmental justice principles, policies, and regulations. SCAG is proud of its longstanding policy to actively ensure nondiscrimination in all of its activities. Furthermore, it is SCAG's continuing practice to identify and prevent discriminatory effects by actively administering its plans, programs, and policies to ensure that social impacts to communities and people are recognized early and continually throughout SCAG's regional planning processes.

SCAG conducts public outreach and solicits public participation in the development of its plans, programs, and policies. This participation helps to assure that the public has a voice in our regional planning decisions. Click this link to be directed to SCAG's Public Participation Form.

Public Participation

A key goal of SCAG is to improve regional decision making by providing leadership and consensus building on key plans and policies. One way the agency achieves this is through the public involvement process, which provides reasonable opportunities for interested parties to comment on SCAG's regional plans, programs and activities.
