SCAG Toolbox Tuesday Explores ‘2026 State of the Region Report’

On June 9, SCAG hosted the “Exploring Regional Progress with the 2026 State of the Region Report” Toolbox Tuesday session to examine major trends in Southern California. 

During the session, SCAG staff provided detailed insight into regional conditions from 2000 to 2024, including demographic trends and data related to the four pillars of the Connect SoCal 2024 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy: mobility, communities, environment, and economy. The session focused on data and trends gathered in SCAG’s “2026 State of the Region Report,” published recently by SCAG to help local jurisdictions identify regional trends and engage with regional planning and policy decisions. 

During the session, SCAG walked through the 2026 State of the Region StoryMap and answered questions to demonstrate how this interactive tool supports local planning decisions and provides data to learn from them. 

The “2026 State of the Region Report” is available on SCAG’s Connect SoCal 2050 webpage. The entire presentation is available on YouTube.
