2026/27 County Transportation Improvement Program

The 2026/2027 County Transportation Improvement Program outlines Tulare County’s strategic plan for enhancing and maintaining its transportation infrastructure during Fiscal Year 2026/2027. This program includes a range of initiatives such as road safety upgrades, bridge repairs, road rehabilitation and surface overlays, sidewalk expansions, and other transportation-related improvements. Funding for these projects comes from a combination of local sources, including Measure R, along with state and federal allocations. Importantly, the program serves as a comprehensive listing of proposed projects rather than an active construction contract, and none of the projects may proceed without first completing the required California Environmental Quality Act review process. The plan is managed by the Resource Management Agency and reflects the County’s commitment to improving mobility, safety, and accessibility across its transportation network. Key contacts overseeing the program include Gary Mills, Chief Planner, Jessica Wills, Environmental Planner, and Hernan Beltran Herrera, Chief Engineer, who can be reached through the Tulare County government office. The program was posted on June 29, 2026, and is categorized as a forecast, indicating its role in guiding future planning and funding decisions rather than initiating immediate procurement. All projects must align with regulatory requirements, particularly CEQA, before any construction can begin, ensuring environmental compliance and public accountability. The program’s official details and tracking are accessible through the CEQAnet portal.
