In accordance with public participation plan requirements, Fresno Council of Governments updated their 2020 Public Participation Plan (PPP) which includes the RTP Public Outreach Strategy.
The PPP is a plan intended to give Fresno COG’s Policy Board and staff guidance in providing for public involvement and interagency consultation early and often during the regional planning process. It contains policies, guidelines, processes and procedures Fresno COG commits to implementing while seeking and fostering open public involvement during the decision-making process, regarding all matters within discretion. The PPP also identifies opportunities to be involved in the metropolitan transportation planning process.

Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Public Outreach Partners:
Fresno COG’s Community Outreach Mini-Grant Program
The Fresno Council of Governments is working with three community organizations to solicit ongoing public input into key activities associated with the preparation of the 2022 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Sustainable Communities Strategy Scenarios within it. Together with these partners, Fresno COG will reach out to residents of the Fresno County region, include them in the RTP and SCS transportation planning process via workshop and online participation, and obtain defined input regarding their perceived community transportation needs. This program is designed to ensure that interested members of the public have ample opportunity to understand and provide meaningful input on these plans during the planning process.
