Welcome to MCOG, the Regional Transportation
Planning Agency (RTPA) for our countywide region-- "a cog in the wheels
of our transportation system."
Acting as the Regional Transportation Planning Agency, MCOG programs or allocates
various types of state and federal transportation funds to Caltrans, the County
of Mendocino and the four incorporated Cities of Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Willits,
and Point Arena. Most of the federal Economic Stimulus funding programs available
for transportation projects in Mendocino County flow through MCOG.
In addition to supporting projects within its five member jurisdictions, MCOG
helps support transportation activities of the Mendocino Transit Authority,
North Coast Railroad Authority, local airports, and on state highways, among
others.
MCOG is responsible for preparing the Regional Transportation Plan,
and funded projects are to be consistent with the Plan. Projects involve
planning, capital improvements, rehabilitation and maintenance, public transit
fleet
replacement, and intermodal transit facilities.
Two county supervisors, a countywide public appointee, and one council
member from each of the four incorporated cities make up Board
membership. A representative of Caltrans serves on the Policy Advisory Committee
with the seven directors.
Mendocino Council of Governments (MCOG) was formed as a joint powers
agreement in 1972, as mandated by state law, the Transportation
Development Act (TDA). MCOG is a political subdivision of the State
of California.
MCOG serves as the Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE) of Mendocino County, administering the call box program. MCOG also is involved with housing and economic development.
