Authors: Javier Aguilar

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) implemented a GIS Services Program to promote GIS technology, data sharing, data updating, and standardization of GIS data, as well as to establish stronger working relationships with member jurisdictions in order to facilitate future planning efforts. The Program is a free to member agencies. It entails SCAG staff assisting member agencies with GIS projects to “fill-in-the gaps” in these difficult fiscal times.
