Ventura/Santa Barbara Rail Study
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
Submittal Deadline: October 26, 2006

RFP Number: 06-059

ABOUT SCAG 
Over the past four decades, the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) has evolved as the largest of nearly 700 councils of
government in the United States, functioning as the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) for six counties: Los Angeles, Orange, San
Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura and Imperial.  

As the designated MPO, SCAG is mandated by the federal government to
research and put together plans for transportation, growth management,
hazardous waste management, and air quality. SCAG relies heavily on
outside consultants and vendors to help accomplish the overall mission
and objectives of SCAG. We are always striving to increase the breadth
and depth of talent in our pool of potential consultants and vendors,
and are especially interested in bringing more certified DBEs into the
fold.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The major purpose of this study is to assess the options/scenarios for
proposed commuter rail service, identify and analyze issues related to
operational and institutional needs, and to assess the financial
feasibility of commuter rail services and financial impacts to the
funding agencies in providing such service.
