Every year, each city in Fresno County claims the funds from the Transportation Authority. 

The largest share heading to the city is for the Fresno Area Express system at nearly $12 million. 

Fresno’s street maintenance program comes in second with a $5.8 million allocation, closely followed by a $5.6 million allotment that will be used for flexible funding. 

The pedestrian and trails department will receive $1.4 million. 

Fresno Yosemite International’s chunk of tax dollars comes in at $870,000. 

Fresno’s bicycle facilities will receive a $360,000 allocation, while $200,000 will go toward the city’s Americans with Disabilities Act compliance.
