Decision Making Tools

Post

REAP 2.0 supports expansion of SCAG’s Decision-Making Tools and Technical Assistance, building on the success of the Regional Data Platform to offer added resources to support local planning and opportunities to access big data for planning and performance monitoring related to program objectives. SCAG’s RDP provides data and planning templates and tools to help local jurisdictions update and align various elements of their general plans to advance sustainable planning at the local and regional level, and to meet their 6th Cycle RHNA goals. SCAG seeks to partner with subregional agencies and other partners to expand support and training for local jurisdictions to use the RDP as well as provide additional features and functions to help further.

  • Uses include analyzing changes in walking, biking, vehicle, and truck volumes, estimating vehicle miles traveled impacts of development projects, evaluating transportation safety changes, and determining changes in local and regional travel patterns. SCAG and Streetlight will provide technical assistance, trainings, and workshops.
