SJCOG, San Joaquin Valley planning agencies working to improve goods movement

Top News Posted on January 29, 2026

San Joaquin Valley regional planning agencies are conducting a study to plan the best ways to improve how goods are moved throughout the San Joaquin Valley.

The agencies are gathering the information to find and map the most important truck routes, determine how they could be affected by extreme weather conditions, and suggest ways to improve them. Community feedback will be used to improve the plan and ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. They also want to hear from San Joaquin Valley residents about how climate issues or extreme weather conditions may affect freight movement throughout San Joaquin Valley.
