The Measure C Extension Strategic Implementation Plan guides the expenditure of over $1.7 billion in transportation funds from a half-cent sales tax in Fresno County over a 20-year period (2007-2027). The plan details funding for a multi-modal transportation program, encompassing regional public transit, local transportation infrastructure (street maintenance, ADA compliance, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities), regional capacity-enhancing street and highway projects, grade separation, environmental enhancements (school bus replacement, transit-oriented development), and administrative/planning activities. This comprehensive strategy aims to improve mobility, air quality, and economic vitality by leveraging local, state, and federal resources while ensuring local control and oversight.

The plan aims to address major regional transportation needs, accommodate projected population growth, and enhance the quality of life by balancing investments across six key programs: Regional Public Transit, Local Transportation, Regional Transportation, Alternative Transportation, Environmental Enhancement, and Administration/Planning. Key objectives include expanding mass transit, improving local infrastructure, developing major regional projects, consolidating rail lines, enhancing environmental quality through transit-oriented development and school bus replacement, and ensuring fiscal accountability.
