SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned, and 

Caltrans assumed, environmental 

responsibilities for this project pursuant 

to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans as the 

delegated National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) agency, has prepared 

a Draft Tier I EIS on a proposal for a 

route adoption of State Route 180 

between Interstate 5 and the end of the 

freeway portion of State Route 180, just 

west of the Fresno City limits in Fresno 

County. Caltrans approved the Draft 

Tier I EIS on March 8, 2011. 

The proposed route adoption will 

identify the most appropriate location 

for an ultimate four-lane expressway for 

State Route 180 within the study area. 

Three route adoption alternatives and 

the No-Action/No-Project Alternative 

are under consideration. For the 

purposes of a route adoption, each 

alternative is 1,000 feet wide. 

Alternative 1 extends approximately 

48 miles across the valley, beginning at 

a point where a direct westerly 

extension of Belmont Avenue would 

intersect Interstate 5 and generally 

follows existing State Route 180 until it 

reaches a connection with the existing 

State Route freeway terminus at Brawley 

Avenue. This alternative contains three 

variations that were developed to 

bypass or provide access to affected 

communities. 

Alternative 2 extends approximately 

49 miles across the valley, beginning at 

a point where a direct westerly 

extension of Belmont Avenue would 

intersect Interstate 5 and follows the 

same alignment at Alternative 1 until 

just east of State Route 33. It then travels 

northeasterly to generally follow the 

McKinley Avenue, Belmont, and 

Nielsen Avenue alignments as it travels 

east to join the existing State Route 180 

freeway. 

Alternative 3 extends approximately 

50 miles across the valley. This 

alternative begins at an existing 

interchange on Interstate 5 at Shields 

Avenue and runs eastward 18 miles to 

State Route 33, north of Mendota. From 

here, the route continues eastward 

generally paralleling to the south of the 

San Joaquin River/Madera County line. 

The route veers southeasterly to 

coincide with Alternative 2 for the 

remainder of the alignment. The NoAction/No-Project Alternative would 

result in no action being taken.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

49 U.S.C. 5334(h) provides guidance 

on the transfer of capital assets. 

Specifically, if a recipient of FTA 

assistance decides an asset acquired 

under this chapter at least in part with 

that assistance is no longer needed for 

the purpose for which it was acquired, 

the Secretary of Transportation may 

authorize the recipient to transfer the 

asset to a local governmental authority 

to be used for a public purpose with no 

further obligation to the Government. 49 

U.S.C. 5334(h)(l). 

Determinations 

The Secretary may authorize a 

transfer for a public purpose other than 

mass transportation only if the Secretary 

decides: 

(A) The asset will remain in public 

use for at least 5 years after the date the 

asset is transferred; 

(B) There is no purpose eligible for 

assistance under this chapter for which 

the asset should be used; 

(C) The overall benefit of allowing the 

transfer is greater than the interest of the 

Government in liquidation and return of 

the financial interest of the Government 

in the asset, after considering fair 

market value and other factors; and 

(D) Through an appropriate screening 

or survey process, that there is no 

interest in acquiring the asset for
