The San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) is a regional government association in San Luis Obispo County that coordinates transportation planning and funding for the region. Its core role involves examining regional transportation needs, delivering long-range plans, and supporting public transit, highway improvements, and alternative mobility options, with the aim of improving the area’s quality of life and facilitating inter-governmental collaboration. The organization serves seven cities and the county, acting as a forum for addressing shared regional issues and aligning resources and solutions across local governments, residents, and stakeholders. Based in San Luis Obispo, California, SLOCOG operates within the government administration sector, focusing on regional planning, housing allocation, and sustainable transportation planning as part of its regional framework. In addition to its planning duties, the council supports initiatives such as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation and the Sustainable Communities Strategy, emphasizing a collaborative approach to regional development. A recent development includes the launch of a rail pilot program in collaboration with the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency, offering discounted Amtrak Pacific Surfliner fares between select coastal communities.
