Summer 2024 Open House Engagement
Summer 2024: City-wide MTP Open Houses The first round of Council District open houses introduced Fort Worth’s inaugural MTP under the “M1M” initiative. These sessions aimed to gather community input on transportation priorities, safety concerns, and infrastructure needs. Residents engaged in discussions on improving roadway safety, expanding public transit, and integrating sustainable practices. The meetings emphasized economic opportunity, accessibility, and comfort for all users, while encouraging feedback on technology-driven solutions and environmental considerations. Outcomes included a broad set of community-driven ideas that informed the draft goals of the MTP.
