Climate Resilience Fort Worth lacks a comprehensive climate action or resilience plan for transportation infrastructure. Current efforts, such as urban forestry and green space expansion, are positive but insufficient to address systemic risks like flooding, extreme heat, and severe weather. The City should develop a formal climate action/resilience plan that integrates transportation assets and sets measurable adaptation goals. Using GIS-based risk assessments and climate modeling, planners can identify vulnerable corridors and prioritize upgrades. Design standards should be updated to reflect future climate conditions, and climate opportunity metrics should be embedded in project evaluations to help vulnerable communities receive targeted investments. Incorporating nature-based solutions and smart infrastructure for real-time monitoring will further strengthen resilience.
Outcome Transit priority measures are minimal. While ITS groundwork exists, there is no systematic implementation of bus lanes or signal priority. This limits transit reliability and competitiveness
Outcome Fort Worth lacks a formal climate action or resilience plan for transportation infrastructure. Current efforts focus on urban forestry and green space but do not systematically address flooding, heat, or severe weather risks. Recommendations ■ Develop a Climate Action/Resilience Plan integrating transportation assets. ■ Use GIS-based risk assessments and climate modeling to identify vulnerable corridors. ■ Update design standards for future climate conditions and embed climate opportunity metrics in project evaluations. ■ Incorporate nature-based solutions and smart infrastructure for real-time monitoring.
with private vehicles. Recommendations
■ Implement exclusive bus lanes or queue jump lanes at congested intersections. ■ Deploy TSP on high-ridership corridors, leveraging existing ITS infrastructure. ■ Use AVL/GPS data for dynamic scheduling and route optimization. ■ Redesign bus stops to minimize conflicts with bike lanes and improve accessibility.
