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.
