Regional Needs Assessment

A thorough inventory of stakeholder and community needs is a critical input into establishing a Regional Resiliency Implementation Plan and Adaptation Guidance for San Joaquin County’s transportation system. This Needs Assessment documents this inventory, summarizing input and findings from a stakeholder workshop, a series of stakeholder interviews, and a public survey conducted for the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) Regional Resiliency Implementation Plan and Adaptation Guidance project.

The most popular transportation strategies for resilience are:  

1. More trees along roads and shaded transit stops.    
2. Expanded bus routes and hours.  
3. Educational opportunities for community members to learn about climate change and sustainability.   
4. Community solar or gardens.  
5. Job training in green business.
