The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) is a regional government agency responsible for transportation policy development, planning, and programming across San Joaquin County, including several cities in Northern California. As the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency and Metropolitan Planning Organization, SJCOG coordinates growth, transportation, environmental management, housing, open space, air quality, fiscal management, and economic development, serving as a forum for regional decision-making. A key function is administering the Measure K program, a voter-approved, half-cent sales tax since 1990 that funds highway, transit, pedestrian, and local road improvements, generating revenue for rail and public transit networks over the program’s five decades. The organization operates through a committee structure that includes a Board of Directors, Technical Advisory Committee, Management and Finance Committee, and various advisory groups. Based in Stockton, California, SJCOG partners with local governments, the private sector, and community groups to develop regional strategies and advocate for interregional issues. In recent years, SJCOG has pursued initiatives such as planning and design work for transportation projects and environmental impact assessments, alongside efforts to expand electrification and modernize mobility in the region.
