Public access to the beach is so deeply tied to who we are as Californians that it’s hard to imagine a time when it wasn’t guaranteed. Newly appointed Coastal Commissioner Ray Jackson (also the SBCCOG's 2nd Vice Chair and a Hermosa Council member), explores what he has learned about the work it takes to defend these protections "every single day."

In October, the SBCCOG hosted an energy efficiency technology showcase at its office in Torrance to advance those connections. It offered an opportunity for SoCalREN-approved businesses to present services and energy technology options to cities and agencies. Representatives from eight cities and one special district across the South Bay attended. Eight businesses, ranging from building resource companies to energy contractors, showcased their offerings.
Measure R, passed by voters in 2008, is a half-cent sales tax used to finance new transportation projects and programs, and accelerate those already in the pipeline. The SBCCOG manages nearly $831 million in Measure R funds through the South Bay Highway Program. The SBCCOG also prioritizes and manages the spending and disbursement of Measure M funds to member jurisdictions for local projects, many of which are smaller in cost and scale and take less time to implement than Measure R projects, which can take decades to plan and complete. Learn about the impact these measures have had on South Bay transportation.
A Hero's Welcome - Newly formed organization partners with the SBCCOG in its mission to help the South Bay's unhoused through a care-first, person-centered approach.
