The award-winning Capital Area Council of Governments, governed by elected officials from the 10-county region it serves, has worked for more than 40 years as an advocate, planner and coordinator on important regional issues. CAPCOG operates programs and services related to public safety training, homeland security, emergency communications, environmental planning, economic and community development, and elderly, disability and caregiver support. These programs are delivered at a regional level to leverage funding, maximize cooperation and eliminate duplication for governments in its 10-county region — Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Hays, Lee, Llano, Travis and Williamson counties.
