SCAG Hosts Toolbox Tuesday Demonstrating the SoCal Greenprint Tool

On Sept. 15, SCAG hosted a Toolbox Tuesday session demonstrating the SoCal Greenprint tool, a web-mapping application to help users make land use and transportation infrastructure decisions and support conservation investments. 

The SoCal Greenprint is an optional, flexible, and open conservation-focused data mapping tool that supports efforts to secure state and federal funding to implement sustainability and resilience projects and programs, as well as advance mitigation planning initiatives in the SCAG region. 

The SoCal Greenprint includes publicly available geographic layers covering the following thematic areas: Agriculture and Working Lands; Habitat and Biodiversity; Water Resources; Built Environment; Environmental Justice, Equity and Inclusion; Climate Vulnerabilities and Resilience; and Geographic Context. 

Session speakers included SCAG and Arup staff, including Roland Martin, skills leader for geospatial and Earth observation in Arup’s Los Angeles office, and Eric Ota, full stack software developer in Arup's San Francisco office. 

The entire session is available to watch on YouTube.
