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. In addition to projects
on state highways and within its five member jurisdictions, MCOG
helps support transportation activities of Mendocino Transit Authority,
North Coast Rail Authority, local airports, and others. Projects
involve planning, capital improvements, rehabilitation and maintenance,
fleet replacement, and intermodal transit centers.
Two county supervisors, a county elected official, 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.
