For fiscal year 2027, the total aggregate funding for the program is set at 18,000 dollars.

The resulting agreements will have a five-year term from the effective date, with payments made via check or wire transfer. Vendors must also comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Buy America provisions, and applicable DBE regulations. Applications are accepted through the procurement portal until September 30, 2028.

Full Description

The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) representing 28 cities and counties across El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties. As the region's metropolitan planning organization, SACOG is responsible under state and federal law for long‑range regional planning and works with local partners to address shared challenges related to transportation, housing, air quality, climate change, and protection of agricultural and natural resources. Through the 2025 Blueprint, SACOG has committed to advancing three strategic goals: equity, economy, and environment. As the regional transportation planning agency, SACOG develops and implements transportation plans serving approximately 2.7 million residents. In addition to long‑range planning, SACOG implements transportation demand management programs that complement the physical transportation network by improving mobility options, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and expanding equitable access to opportunity throughout the region. The Vanpool Start‑Up Subsidy Program supports these objectives by providing limited‑term monthly subsidies to newly formed vanpools during their first year of operation. For fiscal year 2027, the program offers $300 per month for up to nine months to qualifying vanpools that operate primarily within the six‑county Sacramento region or that have one or more employment destinations within the region. SACOG establishes a not‑to‑exceed funding amount each fiscal year that applies to all approved vanpool providers in aggregate. For fiscal year 2027, the amount is $18,000. Funding levels for future years have not yet been determined at the time this solicitation is issued.
