Action: Approve the December 10, 2025, Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy Roundtable minutes.

Summary: Fresno COG has developed five transportation and land use scenarios for the 2026 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). After receiving more than 2,800 transportation project requests from member agencies through the quadrennial call-for-projects, Fresno COG developed land use and transportation files unique to the five scenarios.

Each scenario was modeled and computed for 2035, consistent with the guidelines set by California Air Resource Board (CARB). Fresno COG worked with the SCS Subcommittee to finalize the 12 performance indicators (land use and transportation measures) for this round of the SCS. Staff has presented the scenarios’ modeling results, along with the performance indicators, to the SCS Subcommittee and they have approved the recommendation of SCS Scenario C to move forward in the SCS process.

A public survey was released on February 17th to receive comments and feedback from the community on the five scenarios. Presentations of the modeling results and performance indicators were given at public workshops, which were held in Reedley on February 19th and in Kerman on February 24th, for staff to receive community input on the scenarios. The selected preferred SCS scenario will then be modeled for the environmental impact report and RTP/SCS horizon year 2049.

Action: Staff and the SCS Subcommittee requests the RTP Roundtable recommend Scenario C to the Fresno COG Policy Board as the preferred scenario for the 2026 RTP/SCS.
