What is the RTP?
The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is a long-range planning document that defines how the region plans to invest in the transportation system over 20+ years based on regional goals, multi-modal transportation needs for people and goods, and estimates of available funding.  The RTP must now include a Sustainable Communities Strategy as required by SB 375.

What is the SCS?

The Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) is a component of the RTP, newly required by SB 375, that sets forth a forecasted development pattern for the region, which, when integrated with the transportation network and other transportation measures and policies, will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from passenger vehicles and light trucks to achieve the GHG reduction targets set by the California Air Resources Board.  The future land use and transportation scenario presented in the SCS must accommodate forecast population, employment, and housing sufficient to meet the needs of all economic segment of population, including the State-mandated Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), while considering State housing goals.

What is SB 375?
California Senate Bill (SB) 375 is a law passed by the California legislature in 2008 that requires each metropolitan planning organization (MPO) to demonstrate, through the development of an SCS, how its region will integrate transportation, housing, and land use planning to meet the GHG reduction targets set by the State.  SB 375 partially implements another, related California law, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, also known as Assembly Bill (AB) 32.

What is SBCAG's GHG reduction target?
SBCAG must achieve a zero per capita increase in GHG emissions from passenger vehicles and light trucks in 2020 and 2035 when compared to 2005 emissions.
