SCAG develops and applies state-of-the-art models, integrated into a comprehensive modeling and forecasting framework (see the chart below) to develop growth projections, travel forecasts, and emissions estimates to support the Region’s various planning programs.

Within this integrated modeling and forecasting system, SPM serves as a conduit between local jurisdictions and key SCAG models by:
-
Delivering locally vetted data and plans to key SCAG models for the analysis of plan performances to ensure that regional plans are consistent with local data and policy inputs; and
-
Providing directional and order-of-magnitude impacts of local land use and policy decisions that will assist in the development of regional plans and associated scenario analysis.
