In the years I have spent as a SACOG board member, it is clear that this is the place for regional collaboration and leadership. In 2018, we will continue to advance the 2020 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy and much more. I look forward to a productive year exploring issues like the future of transit, and completing projects like Civic Lab, that will bring innovative solutions to transportation problems” said Chair Schenirer.

“I am happy to continue serving my community and the region in this new role as SACOG Board Vice Chair. This is an exciting time for our region as we begin to explore new transportation initiatives that will benefit and support the diverse lifestyles of our residents in suburban, urban, and rural areas. I am eager to help lead our board to think about the revitalization of our communities in a way that will help people access transit, bike share, and other mobility options in all parts of the region. It is SACOG’s regional collaboration that is going to ensure that we are able to harness all the opportunity the region has to offer and continue to make this the best place to live, raise a family, or grow a business” said Vice Chair Sander.
