The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) is a joint-powers authority established in 1968, comprising the County of San Joaquin and the cities of Stockton, Lodi, Manteca, Tracy, Ripon, Escalon, and Lathrop. SJCOG is responsible for planning, financing, and coordinating transportation, housing, and habitat conservation in the San Joaquin region.
With a broad range of responsibilities, SJCOG manages the Measure K transportation sales tax program, collects demographic and economic data, conducts airport land use planning, and addresses regional air quality. Working in partnership with local governments, private organizations, and community groups, SJCOG delivers various local, state, and federal programs to support transportation infrastructure and resources, ensuring residents have access to efficient and sustainable transportation options. Additionally, SJCOG plays a crucial role in assigning affordable housing quotas to each city and the county.
