Fresno County Funds Safe School Routes | Fresno News

Fresno County is investing $6 million from Measure C to transform dangerous school routes into safe corridors for kids, especially in rural areas where dirt paths and unsafe crossings are common. With over $17 million in requests, seven projects across Selma, Parlier, Sanger, Reedley, Fowler, Mendota, and near Cantua Elementary were selected — including paved trails, upgraded sidewalks, better signage, and even a pedestrian bridge. Eleven other projects didn’t make the cut, but officials are already hunting for state, local, and federal funding. As voters prepare to decide in November whether to extend Measure C — a half-cent sales tax for transportation and school safety — the city of Fresno has a backup plan to ensure kids keep getting safe, reliable access to school.
