Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG)

Organization Description

The Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) is a Joint Powers Agency composed of the seven incorporated cities (Arcata, Blue Lake, Eureka, Ferndale, Fortuna, Rio Dell, Trinidad), and the County of Humboldt. It is the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) as well as the Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE). 

HCAOG’s activities carry out the policies and implementing actions that the Board adopts in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). HCAOG’s regional transportation goal is for Humboldt County to have a carbon-neutral, multi-modal transportation system that is comprehensive, safe, sustainable, and equitable for all.

The agency is largely responsible for programming specific public funds to improve local streets, roads, and state highways, as well as multi-use trails, public transportation, and active transportation amenities. The agency performs planning activities to encourage more sustainable transportation, accessible destinations, and more walkable neighborhoods.
