We’re About Partnership
Who we are.
The California Association of Councils of Governments (CALCOG) is an association made up of the 51 regional agencies that plan, program, and invest in California’s transportation and mobility. A roster of our members is on the next page.
Our members.
Regional agencies make their communities mobile, sustainable and prosperous in a way that reflects the unique needs of their regions. Most develop long-range transportation plans and secure funding to implement those plans.
Our mission.
We aim to help our members achieve their objectives, whether it’s programming a key transportation investment, planning for a future with fewer cars, or developing new resilience strategies. We do this by sharing information, storytelling, identifying best
practices, building consensus, and when necessary, advocating for policy change. CALCOG is a trusted voice and resource for our members.
Join Us
Our flagship event.
Every year we convene decision-makers and executives at our Regional Leadership Forum. We draw more than 250 leaders of regional project and program implementation from across the state.
Our ongoing activities.
Throughout the year we host events, conduct trainings, provide briefings, share information, and—through our California Academy for Regional Leaders—train the next generation of regional executives.
Our partnership opportunities.
Each event we host creates a new forum to build brand awareness, collaborate with colleagues, nurture professional relationships, and expand your network. If you are a company that seeks to improve brand awareness with our membership, consider partnering with us! Our current partners are generally engaged in transportation project delivery, data and transportation planning, mobility, housing, finance, public agency support services, and policy development.
Our promise to partners.
A partnership is an investment for both parties. We commit to creating a lasting partnership that builds brand value for you. If you are not completely happy, give us a chance to make it up to you; if you are still not satisfied, we will issue you a refund.
