Reasons for Exemption
The On-Demand Improvement Study is exempt under CEQA because it involves only a feasibility and planning study for potential future actions that have not yet been approved, adopted, or funded by the agency. The study will evaluate potential enhancements for Fresno Area Express's FAX on-demand transit services, including modernization needs and the feasibility of expanding services. The study will assess improvements, but it does not commit to any action or final decisions.
