Current Events:
Friday April 14th: It's time for the Second Annual Sim-City Pizza Planning Party!!! It's like playing Sim City, but with real materials, real Natural Disasters, and satisfaction for all five senses.
We'll have pizza doughs ready, and then we'll have an informal "plan your city" competition, where people or teams will build a city on a pizza. For instance, you can use blocks of tofu for buildings, pave your streets with zucchini skin, make forests of broccoli, etc. Then, we'll photograph each city before Natural Disaster #1 (The Oven) and again before Natural Disaster #2 (The Knife), (but no photos after Natural Disasters #3 and #4...)
It's a topping pot-luck, but if you have specific ideas about what you want to have in your city, you're best of bringing any critical ingredients yourself. Other foodstuffs, like salads and beverages, are also highly desirable.
What to bring:
* Yourself
* Your appetite
* Friends
* Zero or more pizza toppings

The Metropolitan Transportation Plan is a 23-year plan for transportation improvements in our six-county region. Based on projections for growth in population, housing and jobs, the MTP is key to the quality of life and economic health of our region.
Ensuring convenient access to jobs, school, entertainment, recreation and critical services such as banking, medical care and shopping will require a transportation system of roads, transit, bikeways and sidewalks to manage our diverse needs.
Regardless of city-or county-designated transportation projects, local improvements must be included in our regional MTP to receive state and federal funding. The last MTP for 2025 proposed using $22.5 billion in transportation funds to operate, maintain and expand the region's transportation system. Expenditures included: $2.5 billion for state highway improvements, $3 billion for state highway maintenance, $2.5 billion for transit improvements, $5 billion for transit operations, and $5 billion for local road improvements.
SACOG is the Metropolitan Planning Organization responsible for developing the state and federally required MTP every three years in coordination with the 22 cities and six counties in the greater Sacramento region. Under memoranda of understanding, long-range transportation plans in El Dorado and Placer Counties are incorporated into the MTP.
