Sustainable Community Strategies Survey and Scenarios
Fresno Council of Governments developed five region wide visions for growth within Fresno County from now through 2035. Each vision (called a Sustainable Community Scenario or SCS) had a different land use and transportation focus. The goal of the scenarios is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but we measured the scenarios using 12 different measurements called “indicators”. This effort is required by the State of California, and is updated every four years. We want to hear which of them you support, as a way for Fresno County’s transportation and land use to grow and thrive.
In May 2026 the Fresno COG Policy Board selected Scenario C to be includd in the RTP and to move forward for further transportation analysis.

Sustainable Community Strategies Survey
Fresno COG conducted a preliminary SCS scenario survey from May to October 2025, designed to gather public input and educate public on transportation and land use priorities for the region’s future growth through 2049. The survey, structured around key themes of transportation investment, land use, neighborhood makeup, and transit-oriented development, allowed respondents to select preferences that aligned with five predefined scenarios (A through E) developed by Fresno COG. View the staff summary of responses below.

RTP Project Suggestions Interactive Mapping Tool
The RTP transportation project ideas survey was open to gather your suggestions and feedback on the transportation project suggestions in Fresno County from September 6 to October 31. A map and the list of each project suggestion submitted is now available at the link above. Click on any of the project suggestions in the list to view it and watch the mapping tool zoom into its location in Fresno County, if location was provided in the survey.
All the project suggestions were forwarded to the city, county, or transit agency responsible for the location or service identified by survey participants. Those agencies are reviewing your suggestions and prioritize them based on current or future plans and available resources. If your suggestion relates to another study in the works, they will also refer participants to that study for more information. Each local agency may choose to submit them back to Fresno COG during the RTP “Call for Projects” in December of this year. Projects received are scored for possible funding availability over the next 20+ years.
