Summary:  One Voice Advocacy trips focus on a core group of regional projects and priorities with a transportation nexus, around which the broadest group within the county can unite. Fresno COG’s One Voice delegation seeks funding sources for projects that appeal to federal decision makers and advocates for congressional and federal agency support during the competitive grant processes. By advocating for policy and regulatory reform, Fresno COG’s One Voice effort is responsible for legislation that today streamlines the way federal and state agencies work together while eliminating unnecessary procedures so government agencies and the business community can work together seamlessly toward job creation for our communities.

The 2026 One Voice D.C. trip is scheduled for March 22-26. The call for priorities is now open through January 7. Submit a 2026 One Voice Priority for COG Policy Board Consideration using the attached pdf form, or request a Word version at this link:
