Amendment #1
Amendment #1 to the Connect SoCal 2024 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy allows project sponsors to update regionally significant transportation projects in the Connect SoCal 2024 Project List. Since Connect SoCal 2024’s adoption, some of these projects have experienced time-sensitive changes. In addition, county transportation commissions have identified new project priorities and projects that are no longer priorities.
On Sept. 5, 2024, the SCAG Regional Council adopted the Connect SoCal 2024 Amendment #1 (Amendment 1) and 2025 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP).
On June 6, the SCAG Regional Council authorized the executive director to release the draft Amendment #1 and draft 2025 FTIP for a 30-day public review and comment period from July 12, 2024, until Aug. 12, 2024.
During the public comment period, SCAG hosted two public hearings accessible by telephone and video conference. The draft Amendment 1 received eight comments: one comment on the demographics and growth forecast, one general comment, and six project-specific comments. No comments affected transportation conformity. SCAG staff responded to and incorporated comments into the final document where appropriate.
