The Unmet Transit Needs Assessment (UTN)
The Unmet Transit Needs Assessment is held each year to ensure that all unmet transit needs that are “reasonable to meet” are met before transit funds are expended for non-transit uses, such as streets and roads. It is up to the Fresno Council of Governments (Fresno COG) to determine the amount of public transportation funds available to the incorporated cities within Fresno County and the County itself for non-transit uses.
Public input and feedback is a critical part of the UTN process. In partnership with local transit providers, Fresno COG is collecting public comments on Unmet Transit Needs for 2021 through March 15, 2021. All comments are considered part of the 2021 UTN assessment. Please do your part by completing the survey in English or Spanish at the links below.

La Evaluación de las necesidades de tránsito insatisfechas (UTN) se lleva a cabo cada año para garantizar que todas las necesidades de tránsito insatisfechas que sean “razonables de satisfacer” se cumplan antes de que los fondos de tránsito se gasten para usos que no sean de tránsito, como calles y carreteras. Depende del Consejo de Gobiernos de Fresno (Fresno COG) determinar la cantidad de fondos de transporte público disponibles para las ciudades incorporadas dentro del condado de Fresno y el condado mismo para usos que no sean de tránsito.
Las opiniones y comentarios del público son una parte fundamental del proceso de la UTN. En asociación con los proveedores de transporte local, Fresno COG está recopilando comentarios públicos sobre las necesidades de transporte insatisfechas para 2021 hasta el 15 de marzo de 2021. Todos los comentarios se consideran parte de la evaluación de la UTN de 2021.
