Transportation

The Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) is a council of city and county governments that was established to address regional transportation issues.

StanCOG is comprised of the cities of Ceres, Hughson, Modesto, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank, Turlock and Waterford, and Stanislaus County.

StanCOG is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) and the Local Transportation Authority (LTA) for the Stanislaus region.

StanCOG is in the process of updating the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), a multi-modal transportation plan for Stanislaus County through the year 2046. The RTP/SCS defines the policies, plans and programs for the coordination and programming of transportation improvements in the region.

On June 8, 2022, StanCOG released the Draft 2022 RTP/SCS. A link to that document is provided here: Draft 2022 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). On June 10, 2022, StanCOG will release the accompanying Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 2022 RTP/SCS. Below are each document’s review period:

Measure L is the Transportation Ordinance and Expenditure Plan approved by Stanislaus County voters on November 8, 2016 . The measure raised the sales tax in Stanislaus County on April 1, 2017, by one-half cent for a total period of 25 years to improve our local streets and roads, improve connectivity and reduce congestion.

Measure L includes strong taxpayer safeguards to ensure that the projects and programs approved by the voters are funded and delivered. A Citizens Oversight Committee has been created to provide an enhanced level of accountability for expenditures made under the Plan to ensure that all voter mandates are carried out and that the financial integrity and performance of the program is maintained.
