About Us

OCOG is the Okanogan Council of Governments, a voluntary alliance of governments from across the Okanogan Region working together on issues and opportunities of mutual interest. The region consists of all of Okanogan County. A list of OCOG members is found here.

OCOG was established in 2015 and in August 2018, it was designated as the Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) for the Okanogan Region. In this capacity OCOG is responsible for ensuring on-going, coordinated transportation planning amongst its members and identifying long-range issues or opportunities affecting the region. The long-range regional transportation plan, adopted in 2017, provides a framework for on-going efforts by OCOG members to make the transportation system as safe, efficient, cost-effective and accommodating as possible. The annual Unified Planning Work Program identifies short-term planning activities that OCOG is undertaking in support of its plan. OCOG gives local communities all across the region a collective voice in statewide transportation planning and investment decisions. OCOG’s regional process seeks to foster enduring partnerships and collaboration that supports local resiliency and self-sufficiency.
