At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Fresno COG must determine the amount of TDA funds available from the TDA Local Transportation Fund (LTF) for allocation to local agencies within Fresno County. Allocations are made in four categories: Bicycle and pedestrian facilities, social service transportation, regional transportation planning, and public transportation. In certain cases, funding from the public transportation category can be applied to local streets and roads in individual jurisdictions if a finding has been made that there are no unmet transit needs that are reasonable to meet within the jurisdiction; however, public transit must be given priority. As a result, prior to allocating LTF funds for any use other than public transit in the public transportation category, the Fresno COG must identify any unmet public transit needs that may exist in Fresno County that are reasonable to meet.  The Unmet Transit Needs Assessment process is conducted to identify any unmet transit needs and make any related findings.  Learn more

Fresno COG and local transit agency partners, including the City of Fresno’s Department of Transportation (Fresno Area Express/FAX), the City of Clovis (Clovis Transit), and the Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA), developed a mobility hub feasibility study and sought innovative ways to improve transportation for everyone who lived and traveled throughout Fresno County. As part of this work, they sought feedback on the potential locations and amenities for future regional mobility hub sites – including two in rural communities and two in the urbanized region. This study explored how potential mobility hubs could provide a safe, comfortable, convenient, and accessible space to help people seamlessly transfer across different travel modes.
