Overview

Regional Advance Mitigation Planning – Advisory Task Group

The purpose of the Regional Advance Mitigation Planning – Advisory Task Group was to establish a policy framework for advance mitigation in the SCAG region, and to ensure the SoCal Greenprint is aligned with related policy objectives. This would be accomplished during the current pause on SoCal Greenprint implementation. In addition to establishing a policy framework, the group advised on a white paper on Regional Advance Mitigation Planning (RAMP). The group approved the RAMP Policy Framework and White Paper on November 16, 2022, and disbanded upon reporting to the Regional Council and Energy & Environment Committee meetings. On February 2, 2023, SCAG’s Regional Council approved the Regional Advance Mitigation Program (RAMP) Policy Framework and White Paper.
