Advancing transportation equity for #OneHealthyFresno

Why Transportation Equity Matters in Fresno

Transportation policy directly impacts air quality, access to employment, healthcare, and educational opportunity. For decades, regional spending has prioritized highway expansions and outer-fringe sprawl at the expense of existing neighborhood roads, pedestrian safety, and public transit. This leaves low-income residents, transit-dependent seniors, and school children navigating unpaved shoulders, dangerous crosswalks, and infrequent bus service. We organize to ensure public transit dollars fix local streets first, increase bus frequency, and protect pedestrian lives.

Transportation Equity

We advocate for transportation systems that meet the daily mobility needs of working families, reduce toxic greenhouse gas emissions, and deliver equitable regional infrastructure.

Our Approach

People-Powered Planning

Uniting transit riders, parents, youth, labor, and faith leaders through the Transportation for All (T4A) coalition to shape regional transit decisions.

Transportation

Safer, Healthier Neighborhood Trips

Prioritizing investments in complete streets, zero-emission buses, protected bike paths, and sidewalks that reduce collisions and air pollution.

Transparent, Accountable Public Spending

Organizing community forums and training residents to directly engage regional planning bodies like the Fresno Council of Governments (Fresno COG).

Current Transportation Work

Reimagining the Measure C Renewal

Mobilizing the community around Fresno County’s half-cent transportation sales tax (expiring in 2027) to ensure any ballot renewal centers on equity, neighborhood street repairs, transit frequency, and clean air rather than unchecked freeway expansion.

Transportation for All (T4A) Coalition

Leading regional efforts to secure equitable funding allocations for both urban and rural transit-dependent communities across Fresno County.

Safe Routes to Schools & Complete Streets

Pushing for ADA-compliant sidewalks, lighted bus shelters, traffic calming, and safe pedestrian crossings near neighborhood schools and clinics.
