About JPA
In December 2006, the Cities of Elk Grove, Folsom and Rancho Cordova, as well as El Dorado and Sacramento Counties, collaborated to form a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) to proceed with planning, environmental review, engineering design and development of the Elk Grove-Rancho Cordova-El Dorado Connector Project (the Capital SouthEast Connector).

The JPA assumed responsibility for the project from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), which oversaw the project through its early stages.

While still in the planning stages, the Capital SouthEast Connector will be four to six lanes when built and could be similar to the Northwest Parkway in metropolitan Denver, CO. Photo courtesy of the Northwest Parkway, LLC.
