Modeling Task Force - Before 2022
The Modeling Task Force (MTF) coordinates SCAG’s various modeling programs and provides a forum to discuss data standards and share information and new ideas. Participation in the MTF is open to all interested parties including governmental staff, education-related individuals and groups, environmental organizations, business groups, and the general public. The MTF is not a legislative body of SCAG, so meetings of the MTF are not subject to the Brown Act.
