Each year the SBCCOG selects candidates from the CivicSpark program—an award-winning, evidence-based fellowship program for emerging leaders interested in gaining professional experience in local community planning issues—to contribute to program work for an eight to 11-month service period.

As the 2025/20206 service term concludes, Addie Aubley, SBCCOG energy programs fellow, Moana Franco, communications and outreach fellow, and Aaron Ruiz, transportation fellow, presented highlights from their service year at the August board meeting.

⚡Aubley helped implement the Energy and Climate Recognition Program💡 , the Kits for Kids Program🏫 , the Facility Equipment Inventory Program, and the Commercial Direct Install Program.

📣Moana Franco developed social media content, developed stories highlighting homeless services program successes✍ , revamped the Housing and Homeless Services website🏠, participated in community outreach efforts, and helped launch the SBCCOG’s Communications Working Group.

🛺 Aaron Ruiz refined routes for the Local Travel Network🚲 🛴 , advanced the Carson to the Sea program through stakeholder engagement and project support, and wrote and published the quarterly Turtle Talk Newsletter🐢.

The SBCCOG is tremendously grateful for the contributions of these fellows to its programs throughout the year and wishes them much success. Addie will be joining the SBCCOG full-time as an energy team project coordinator. 🎊

The South Bay Cities Council of Governments is studying 📝 opportunities to create mobility hubs in the South Bay. These are places that bring together transportation options, community amenities and welcoming public spaces in one convenient location.

Mobility hubs could include shade 🌳, seating 🪑, landscaping 🌻, public art 🖼️, gathering spaces👥, transit connections 🚐, bike and NEV parking 🚲🛺, travel information🧳, and safer walking 🚶and biking facilities 🚵‍♀️. The goal is to create places that support everyday life and make travel options like the Local Travel Network easier to use.

Different places will need different features, but amenities that benefit all choices mean better access and stronger communities for everyone.
