Summary: Fresno COG originally envisioned five potential 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. In addition to the Access to Destination indicator for Environmental Justice (EJ), this cycle included the Financial Investment in Disadvantaged Communities as well. Staff will be presenting the scenarios’ modeling results, along with the performance indicators, and recommending a preferred scenario to the SCS subcommittee in February.

Staff will also conduct a public survey and host formal workshops to present the modeling results and performance indicators to the public. The scenario the SCS Subcommittee selects will go through the RTP/SCS Roundtable in March. Staff will then present the scenarios and recommend the preferred scenario to the TTC/PAC and the Policy Board in March for the final selection. The selected SCS scenario will then be modeled for the environmental impact report and RTP/SCS horizon year 2049.
