Connect SoCal 2050 Local Data Exchange

SCAG Local Data Exchange (LDX) Survey - Connect SoCal 2050
SCAG is seeking input from local jurisdictions across our six-county region to develop the Connect SoCal 2050 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. Connect SoCal 2050 will provide a long-range vision for Southern California that integrates land use and transportation to increase mobility and more sustainable growth. It will incorporate updates of fundamental data, enhanced strategies, and investments intended to strengthen Connect SoCal 2024 and help the region achieve state greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. In addition to this survey, through Local Data Exchange (LDX) we provide a data/map book for each jurisdiction to capture data and visual information.

SCAG wants to better understand the trends, existing conditions, and local planning in the region. Your feedback from a local perspective is essential to help us develop Connect SoCal 2050 and better understand the implementation of prior plans. At the end of the survey, there is an opportunity to highlight your local implementation efforts that advance Connect SoCal 2024’s goals and vision.

The survey is organized into five parts: Land Use and Housing, Transportation, Environmental, Implementation, and Data. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of this work and the survey, we encourage interdepartmental collaboration. We recommend designating one staff member to collect survey responses for all sections and complete the online survey once all responses have been collected.

Your jurisdiction’s participation in completing the survey is highly encouraged. Responses are due by Nov. 20. If you have any questions, please contact the Local Information Services Team at LIST@scag.ca.gov.

Implementation
59. Has your jurisdiction implemented any plan, project, or policy since April 2024 that helps realize the Connect SoCal 2024 vision: “A healthy, prosperous, accessible and connected region for a more resilient and equitable future?” If yes, please include the project name and project manager contact. SCAG might select these to highlight in Connect SoCal 2050.
60. Has your jurisdiction used unique outreach strategies that built community trust, overcame common logistical barriers, or successfully reached a group that has been difficult to engage? Typical engagement strategies include community meetings/workshops, advertisement through media outlets, and partnerships with local community groups. If so, briefly list and describe them.

Data on your community’s existing and projected jobs and housing relationship. This shall include an estimate based on readily available data on the number of low-wage jobs within the jurisdiction and how many housing units within the jurisdiction are affordable to low-wage workers, as well as an estimate based on readily available data, of projected job growth and projected household growth by income level within each member jurisdiction during the planning period.
Lack of capacity for sewer or water service due to federal or state laws, regulations or regulatory actions, or supply and distribution decisions made by a sewer or water service provider other than the local jurisdiction that preclude the jurisdiction from providing necessary infrastructure for additional development during the planning period.
The availability of land suitable for urban development or for conversion to residential use, the availability of underutilized land, and opportunities for infill development and increased residential densities. This may not be limited to the existing zoning ordinances and land use restrictions in your jurisdiction, but shall instead consider the potential for increased residential development under alternative zoning ordinances and land use restrictions. However, the determination of available land suitable for urban development may exclude lands where the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Department of Water Resources has determined that the flood management infrastructure designed to protect that land is not adequate to avoid the risk of flooding.
Lands preserved or protected from urban development under existing federal or state programs, or both, designed to protect open space, farmland, environmental habitats, and natural resources on a long-term basis, including land zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation that is subject to a local ballot measure that was approved by the voters of your jurisdiction that prohibits or restricts conversion to nonagricultural uses.
County policies to preserve prime agricultural land, as defined pursuant to Section 56064, within an unincorporated area and land within an unincorporated area zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation that is subject to a local ballot measure that was approved by the voters of your jurisdiction that prohibits or restricts its conversion to nonagricultural uses

Housing needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
A loss of units during a state of emergency that was declared by the Governor, pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 8550) of Division 1 of Title 2), during the planning period immediately preceding the relevant revision pursuant to Section 65588 that have yet to be rebuilt or replaced at this time.
Data for your jurisdiction on the region’s greenhouse gas emissions targets provided by the State Air Resources Board pursuant to Section 65080.
