Clovis Council Approves $4.15M Purchase for Zero-Emission Transit Center Site

The Clovis City Council votes today, March 5, 2026, to purchase a 24.41-acre parcel for $4.15 million to establish a new transit center aimed at supporting an expanded bus network. The council’s approval secures the land inside Clovis city limits as officials plan for infrastructure to accommodate zero-emission buses.

City staff presented the purchase as a direct response to operational needs and regulatory requirements, with the property identified specifically for transit functions. The 24.41-acre size and $4.15 million price were the figures council members approved during the March 5 meeting, marking a capital acquisition for transportation infrastructure in Fresno County.

The action is explicitly tied to preparing for state-mandated zero-emission-bus infrastructure, a requirement that will affect how local transit agencies procure and house buses. Council members framed the land purchase as a major step toward ensuring Clovis can service an expanded bus network while meeting those state requirements.

Local planners and transit officials will now have control of the parcel the council approved, allowing the city to move forward with site planning and later phases of development. Securing the site on March 5 gives Clovis a defined location for future bus maintenance, charging equipment, and passenger facilities as the region transitions to zero-emission vehicles.

By acquiring this property for $4.15 million, Clovis positions itself to integrate a new transit hub into long-range transportation plans for the city and Fresno County. The council vote on March 5, 2026, sets the stage for subsequent design, environmental review, and coordination with regional transit partners as the city implements a zero-emission bus network.
