Extension Projects
The Measure C Regional Program addresses county-wide transportation needs, divided into Urban and Rural subprograms with priority projects on state highways and major city and county roads. Funding comes from the current Measure C Extension, the Original Measure C, the Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee Program, and state and federal sources. Partnering with Fresno County Council of Governments and other agencies, priorities have been set and funding allocated.
At the halfway mark of the Measure C Extension, significant progress has been made: six Urban and six Rural projects are complete, with others in various stages of development. Approximately $357 million has been equally allocated between urban and rural projects, with over $12 million for improvements to Fresno Yosemite International and Chandler Airports.
Funding for the Regional Transportation Program comes from Measure C (50%), the State Transportation Improvement Program (20%), and the Regional Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee program (30%). Fresno COG will prioritize projects and allocate funding as outlined in the Measure C Extension Regional Transportation Program Handbook.
The program is divided into Short-Term (2007-2017) and Long-Term (2017-2027) Sub Programs, with project schedules reviewed bi-annually to adjust for any changes or acceleration.
Image description
A map displaying the Measure “C” Short-Term Regional Transportation Program for Urban Area Tier 1 projects in Fresno County. The title “Urban Area Projects Tier 1” is prominently featured at the top. The map outlines planned transportation infrastructure improvements with color-coded symbols indicating the construction delivery year, ranging from prior to 2017 to beyond 2023/24. Key features include the Fresno and Clovis metropolitan areas, spheres of influence, incorporated areas, and major roadways. The legend provides details on project timelines and geographic classifications.

This image is a map titled “Rural Area Projects Tier 1,” displaying planned and completed street and highway projects under Measure “C” in Fresno County. The map is part of the Short-Term Regional Transportation Program and highlights Rural Area Tier 1 projects, color-coded by their construction delivery year.
The map covers various locations across Fresno County, including cities like Clovis, Fresno, Kerman, Selma, Kingsburg, and Huron. Major highways and roads are marked along with project locations designated by labeled circles.
A legend at the bottom indicates the project timeline:
- Projects completed prior to 2017/18 (green)
- 2017/18 projects (orange)
- 2018/19 projects (red)
- 2019/20 projects (blue)
- 2020/21 projects (yellow)
- 2021/22 projects (pink)
- 2022/23 projects (purple)
- 2023/24 projects (black)
- Future projects beyond FY 2023/24 (white)
Additionally, a red dashed line in the northeast corner indicates that the Fresno County boundary extends further northeast beyond the visible map area. A compass in the lower left corner provides orientation, and a note states that the map is not to scale.
