Unmet Transit Needs Assessment
2024-2025 Unmet Transit Needs Assessment
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Fresno COG determines 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 services transportation, regional transportation planning, and public transportation. Prior to allocating LTF funds for local streets and roads in individual jurisdictions, the Fresno COG must identify any unmet transit needs that may exist in in that jurisdiction that are reasonable to meet. The Annual Unmet Transit Needs Assessment is conducted to identify any unmet transit needs and make any related findings.
Public outreach is an essential component of the Unmet Transit Needs Assessment. This year, the public outreach component will consist of an online survey, six in-person events, one virtual event, and a public hearing. The online survey is available in English and Spanish until March 29 at:
