The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) is a joint-powers authority established in 1968, consisting of the County of San Joaquin and the cities of Stockton, Lodi, Manteca, Tracy, Ripon, Escalon, and Lathrop. They oversee transportation, housing, and habitat conservation in the San Joaquin region, managing programs such as the Measure K transportation sales tax, airport land use planning, and regional air quality. SJCOG collaborates with local governments, private organizations, and community groups to deliver various local, state, and federal programs that support transportation infrastructure, including streets, roads, highways, and public transit. They also play a role in assigning affordable housing quotas to each city and the county. Generated from the website
