FRESNO COUNTY, CA – The Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA) Executive Director Terry Ogle, has submitted his 30-day resignation, effective on July 4, 2025.
“I have enjoyed working with Terry, but he was offered a terrific opportunity in the private sector and the FCTA has accepted his resignation,” stated Fresno County Supervisor Buddy Mendes. “The FCTA will appoint an interim executive director, and this personnel change will not impact the 2026 Measure C renewal effort spearheaded by the Fresno Council of Governments.”
Since February 26, 2024, Ogle has served as an at-will employee to a nine-member board of directors that includes local elected officials and public members at large. Ogle had a wide range of responsibilities to ensure the ongoing success of FCTA, including carrying out the board’s strategies for implementing the programs and projects funded by the 20-year Measure C Expenditure Plan along with supporting the 2026 Measure C renewal efforts.
Measure C is Fresno County’s half-cent transportation sales tax with $121.1 million revenue projected in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Measure C was one of the first transportation “self-help” projects in California and has successfully constructed over $2 billion of local infrastructure improvements between 1987-2007 throughout Fresno County and its 15-cities.
Notable Measure C projects include building 50-miles of new freeway on SR41, SR168, SR180, SR269 Huron Bridge Construction, and Mountain View Avenue Widening and Bridge replacement.
The Original Measure C and the Measure C extension are projected to collect approximately $2.2 billion by 2027. These and other matching funds totaling over $10 billion have been utilized to improve all methods of transportation in Fresno County, while at the same time, contributing to a vibrant economy, assisting in cleaning our Valley air, and continuing to leverage our local dollars with state and federal funds to support Fresno County’s growing transportation needs.
