ORange county & sb 375
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) hired consultants (Curt Pringle and Associates) to complete public outreach in Orange County as it relates to SB 375. SCAG will be completing a regional plan, called a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) covering the six counties in SCAG and due to its role as a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Orange County is contemplating creating its own SCS outside of SCAG's effort. FHBP and others are attending the meetings on Orange County and SB 375. Learn more about the SB 375 and the public outreach meetings:

Senate Bill (SB) 375 was introduced by Senator Darrell Steinberg and became law effective January 1, 2009. It prompts regional collaboration to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks and ultimately ties land use planning to transportation and housing. The bill requires that regional planning agencies create a plan to meet emission reduction targets. This incentives-based bill also allows for new California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemptions and streamlining for projects that conform to the new regional plan.
