In 2023, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) was awarded funding from the United States Department of Transportation's Neighborhood Access and Equity (NAE) Discretionary Grant Program for the Green Zone Access and Equity Regional Planning Project. This award will allow the SACOG region to advance planning, engineering, design and project development activities to address barrier transportation facilities in nine federally designated disadvantaged communities that are (1) locally prioritized for infill development and (2) share the challenge of high volume, autocentric facilities that bisect existing neighborhoods to limit both economic and transportation mobility. This collection of barrier transportation facilities included the City of West Sacramento's Sycamore Trail Phase IV and V Feasibility Study will help the City to address the legacy of barrier facilities: (1) Union Pacific Railroad and (2) Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel and Barge Canal.
