Fresno County Mobility Hub Feasibility Study Survey
The Fresno Council of Governments (COG) and local transit agencies, including Fresno Area Express (FAX), Clovis Transit, and the Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA), are working on new ways to make getting around Fresno County quicker and easier. They want the community’s ideas on where to put four possible “mobility hubs” and what kinds of transportation options and services these hubs should offer. These hubs would be built in Fresno, Clovis, an FCRTA service area, and a nearby unincorporated community.
A mobility hub is a central spot where people can access at least two types of transportation other than driving. These hubs are designed to help people get around without needing a car, and the features may be different depending on the needs of the area. They could include things like bus routes, on-demand shuttles, bike lanes and parking, rideshares like Uber or Lyft, sidewalks, and electric car charging stations. The survey will take about 5 minutes to complete.

Fresno County Climate Resiliency Plan Survey
The Fresno Council of Governments (Fresno COG) is developing the Fresno County Climate Resiliency Plan using the best available and most current climate science information. This project will identify improvements that would mitigate the impacts of climate hazards like heat, flooding, wildfire, and landslides on the transportation system. Using risk assessment and direct input from Fresno communities, Fresno COG will develop a list of candidate projects in the Climate Resilience Plan that will feed into the 2026 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Community Strategy. This Climate Resiliency Plan will be a critical resource to Fresno COG to prioritize resources and wisely invest to reduce risk to the transportation network and its users. Survey results will inform risk assessment and help to identify community concerns related to these hazards.
