\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFresno COG Policy Board advances 30-year Measure C renewal funding allocations program<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>During its Nov. 20 Policy Board meeting, the Fresno Council of Governments (COG) Policy Board advanced a 30-year Measure C Renewal Funding Allocations Program. In the spring, the Fresno COG began outreach efforts \u2014 including public input, surveys and community meetings \u2014 regarding the development of a November 2026 Measure C Renewal Expenditure plan. After months of partnerships, community discussions and survey work, steering committee recommended the 2026 Measure C Funding Allocations Program (High-Priorities Proposal) 2027-2057 to the Fresno COG Policy Board. This 30-year program outlines the following funding distribution:\n<\/p>\n

Existing Neighborhood Streets and Roads Repair and Maintenance\u201365% ($4,809,098,575)<\/p>\n

Funding will be directed toward identifying streets in need of repair, filling potholes and enhancing overall safety. The program establishes a $400,000 annual minimum allocation for eligible jurisdictions to ensure consistent local road improvements.\n<\/p>\n

Public Transportation\u201425% ($1,849,653,297)<\/p>\n

Funding will be dedicated to supporting transit agency operations, improving services in rural communities and ensuring affordable fares for seniors, students and residents with disabilities. These investments aim to make public transportation more accessible and reliable across the region.\n<\/p>\n

Regional Connectivity\u20135% ($369,930,660)<\/p>\n

A portion of the funding will go towards major, multi-modal, regional transportation projects that will support long-term growth, improved connectivity and enhanced travel experiences.\n<\/p>\n

Access and Innovation-\u20134% ($295,944,528)<\/p>\n

Transportation Innovation anticipates funding for additional infrastructure to address electric vehicle charging stations, electric grid expansion and battery storage, autonomous vehicles and zero or reduced transit fares for senior citizens, active military, veterans, and disabled populations.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Administration\u20131% ($73,986,132)<\/p>\n

The 1 percent administration set-aside includes costs associated with: staffing, annual audits, expenses related to the Measure C Oversight Committee, technical assistance to jurisdictions, public outreach and notifications for amendments to the expenditure plan and a project database.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThis funding allocation\u2019s plan reflects countywide community input and the collaborative efforts of all of our committee and board members,\u201d said City of Parlier Mayor and Fresno COG Chairwoman Alma Beltran. \u201cThis vote demonstrates we can come together as a region on solutions that benefit all of us. Together, we are making an impact on the future of transportation in Fresno County.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\u201cLast night\u2019s vote by the Council of Governments marks an important step forward in the Measure C renewal process, focused on improving our local roads and maintaining our transit systems. While not every jurisdiction supported the recommendation, over 85% of Fresno County residents live in incorporated cities \u2014 and what\u2019s good for our cities should be good for the county as a whole. This is just one of many steps ahead, and I remain committed to working collaboratively to bring forward a single, unified measure for voters to consider in 2026.\u201d \u2013 Mayor Jerry Dyer\n<\/p>\n
