Technical Advisory Committees and Working Groups
The Aviation Technical Advisory Committee (ATAC) is a quarterly regional forum for aviation professionals (e.g. airport planners, transportation agency officials, and academics) to share technical and professional expertise on regional aviation issues with SCAG. SCAG uses information and data provided by the ATAC to inform aviation element of the Connect SoCal Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy, as well as other planning and research efforts. The ATAC shall not serve as a policy, legislative, or voting body; thus, meetings are not subject to the Brown Act.

The purpose of the SoCal Greenprint Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is to gather key stakeholder input to ensure that data provided through the SoCal Greenprint web-based application will be useful to targeted user groups for its intended purposes. SCAG staff will work to ensure the SoCal Greenprint tool aligns with advanced mitigation opportunities, fulfillment of the Connect SoCal 2020 Program Environmental Impact Report mitigation measures and the Connect SoCal’s policies, objectives and goals, and the Regional Advance Mitigation Planning (RAMP) Policy Framework adopted by SCAG’s Regional Council in February 2023.
As outlined in the RAMP Policy Framework, the TAC will advise and consult SCAG in the development of governance standards, user guidelines, data selection criteria, and data parameters to be used for establishment of the SoCal Greenprint tool and (as directed by the Regional Council’s February 2023 action approving formation of the TAC) suggestions of the TAC will be presented to the Regional Council and Energy & Environment Committee. The meetings of the TAC will be consistent with the Brown Act.

The “Highways to Boulevards Regional Study” will identify areas to remove, retrofit, or mitigate the negative impacts of highways and railways through highway-to-boulevard conversions, freeway caps, and railroad conversions. The study will create two project advisory committees to gather input from organizations in the region.
The first Highways to Boulevards project advisory committee aligns with regional goals defined by SCAG in the Connect SoCal Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy by identifying locations for conversion and mitigation. The study will rely on input from cities, councils of government, and country transportation commissions to help identify preliminary project locations. The project advisory committee will contribute to the vision and goals for the study, define methodologies, screen and prioritize criteria, and determine corridors for future conceptual design.
The second project advisory committee also aligns with the regional goals, gathering agencies and community-based organizations to take the lead in seeking funding and implementing identified projects. The primary goals of the second project advisory committee are to provide guidance on the top six to 10 corridors identified, determine next steps, and seek funding. The project advisory committee will identify preliminary designs and anti-displacement strategies to arrive at final designs, implementation, and funding strategies.
The Modeling Task Force (MTF) coordinates SCAG’s various modeling programs and provides a forum to discuss data standards and share information and new ideas. Participation in the MTF is open to all interested parties including governmental staff, education-related individuals and groups, environmental organizations, business groups, and the general public. The MTF is not a legislative body of SCAG, so meetings of the MTF are not subject to the Brown Act.
