2026 Draft Program EIR

About the Program EIR

Under the law known as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), SJCOG must prepare a "program-level" Environmental Impact Report (Program EIR) to inform residents and decision makers of the potential environmental impacts that could result from implementing the 2022 RTP/SCS. Rather than analyze individual projects or policies, the Program EIR looks at potential environmental impacts of the Plan as a whole. Individual projects are required to separately comply with CEQA and/or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as applicable.

Please note that the Final Program EIR, in combination with the Draft EIR and its technical appendices comprise the Final EIR document. 

Notice of Preparation and Comment Period

SJCOG has issued a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the 2026 RTP/SCS Program EIR to solicit input on the scope and content of the environmental analysis. Due to state-mandated deadlines, all responses must be submitted within 30 days of the NOP release date (April 24, 2025).

Please submit written comments by May 27, 2025 to:
