A people's plan for a better, more accessible, and more affordable transportation system

About Our Campaign

We’ve Paid Our Share. Now It’s Time To Have A Say.

For nearly 40 years, we have paid billions in dedicated sales taxes —0.5 cents on every purchase —with the promise to improve roads and transit, and yet our neighborhood streets are crumbling, people can’t get to where they need to go eﬃciently, and our kids can’t get to school safely.

Despite generating $3 billion, our transportation system hasn’t kept pace with our county’s growth. The result? Whether you walk, bike, drive, or take public transportation, getting around is too expensive, unreliable, takes too long, and is unsafe.

Billions later, what do we have to show for it?

Too much sprawl and pollution, endangering health and quality of life for us and our children and grandchildren.
Frustrating, long commutes that aﬀect our ability to find and keep decent jobs. Long commutes, particularly for Fresno County’s working parents, who are spending hours commuting, time they could be spending their kids.
Transportation-related pollution and sprawl because of bad transportation planning.

Delays and struggles getting to school, medical appointments, and shopping due to heavy traﬃc and unreliable public transit.
A lack of connections across the region, especially for rural residents, which means too many people are isolated in their communities.
Long commutes, particularly for Fresno County’s working parents, who are spending hours commuting, time they could be spending their kids.
Crumbling neighborhood roads and lack of safe pedestrian pathways.

Politicians in power have failed to make the improvements we the people want and need, from basic road repairs to better, more reliable transit. They’ve ignored our needs while taking our money. Enough.

It’s time for us to take control back from the politicians and powers-that-be – because we the people know what our neighborhoods need, we pay the taxes and we deserve to have a say in how our hard-earned money is spent.

That’s why we have launched the Moving Forward campaign – to put YOU in the driver’s seat!

The current sales-tax measure – Measure C – expires in 2027. That means, we, the people have an opportunity to shape the next wave of transportation investments across the county.

We know the community has the expertise to shape road, transit, and mobility solutions to meet our everyday needs and make our county a better place to live and work for decades to come.

Access to good transportation options is one of the most vital elements of a healthy, successful life, and it’s critical to the local economy too!

With residents in the lead, Fresno County can deliver a better, more accessible, and more aﬀordable transportation system. That means:

Better roads and more reliable public transit options that make it easier to commute to schools, jobs, shopping, sports, parks, entertainment, and more.

Good-for-everyone transportation solutions that don’t create more pollution and sprawl but instead support all residents and families to get where we need to be.
