Green Region Initiative

The Green Region Initiative Sustainability Indicators Map (GRI) is a tool for measuring and tracking sustainability progress in the SCAG region across 12 categories and 29 indicators.

SCAG launched the first version of the GRI in 2011, subsequently updating the tool in several iterations to create a detailed inventory of sustainability measures, calibrate a consistent system to quantify data and identify best practices, define sustainability categories and indicators, add new map overlays, and improve user experience.

GRI Version 4.0, the most recent iteration of the tool, improves user experience with updated map designs, links, and resources. GRI Version 4.0 includes three updated maps, one new indicator, and one new topic: Electric Vehicle Permitting Streamlining and Urban Greening. Each topic has a new stand-alone map on Senate Bill (SB) 535 Disadvantaged Communities as well as a Consolidated Map which incorporates all the Indicator maps and the SB 535 map. The new maps contain detailed descriptions and resources relevant to the individual indicators. Click on the following icons to view the 12 categories exploring sustainability progress across the SCAG region.
