Local Allocation Program
The Measure C Local Allocation Program includes several funding programs to help fix and improve local transportation systems. This measure allocated around $593 million in local funding, making up 34.6% of the total Measure C funds for Fresno County and its cities. The main goal was to provide a way to pay for repairs and improvements to old streets and roads.
All of the region’s local agencies get funding from the Measure C Local Transportation Program. Every agency that gets these funds must undergo an annual audit by FCTA to check if the funds were used as required. Misuse of these funds can result in suspension of future payments and repayment of any misdirected funds.
This program gets 34.6% of Measure C’s funds.
The local program divides the money into a few different parts:
15.3% of the Measure goes to fixing potholes, repaving streets, improving sidewalks, and upgrading local transportation infrastructure.
14.8% of the Measure is “flexible” funding. This means local agencies can use it for whatever transportation projects they think are most important. These projects cover public transit, pothole repairs, and matching grants. They also include equipment, lighting, and more.
3.11% of the Measure goes to the Pedestrian/Trails Subprogram. The money goes toward improving walking, biking and other trails throughout the Fresno County region.
0.9% of the Measure goes to the Bicycle Facilities Subprogram. This funding is used for biking systems in cities with at least 25,000 people. If a city has fewer people, that money goes into the flexible funding pool instead.
0.5% of the Measure is for making places accessible for people with disabilities. This includes adding curb cuts and ramps to remove barriers. It also supports special transportation services.
