The Challenge
The San Joaquin Council of Governments had to prepare its 2022 Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy during the pandemic, facing a housing crisis, uncertain retail and office demand, equity gaps, and climate targets.
Our Approach
We led the scenario work with Fehr & Peers, Urban Design 4 Health, and Third City Coalition. Through remote charrettes with the technical advisory committee we set the plan's pillars, futures, metrics, and strategies, then built land use and transportation scenarios in Envision Tomorrow and scored them on greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle miles traveled, and housing cost. A mini-grant program paid community-based organizations to bring underrepresented residents into a process that ran entirely online.
Outcome
The scenarios produced the land use and transportation concept that became the basis for the project list and land use map adopted in the 2022 plan.
