6.5.3. Integration with Regional & Citywide Goals Policies must align with Fort Worth’s long-term growth strategy and regional transportation plans. Integration creates consistency across capital planning cycles and leverages funding opportunities. The analysis underscores the importance of embedding multimodal priorities into subdivision ordinances, functional classifications, and capital investment criteria. Coordination with NCTCOG and alignment with Vision Zero, Complete Streets, and environmental goals are essential.
■ Design Standards: Incorporate climate resilience requirements, including GIS-based risk assessments and adaptation measures for flooding, heat, and severe weather. ■ Transit Priority Provisions: Amend traffic control ordinances to allow bus lanes, queue jumps, and signal priority treatments, supported by ITS infrastructure. ■ Safety and Accessibility: Embed enforceable Vision Zero and Complete Streets principles into all relevant codes, creating safe street design and accessibility for all users. These amendments will provide the legal foundation for consistent implementation, align Fort Worth’s regulatory framework with its long- term transportation goals, and help manage future growth in a sustainable, resilient, and accessible manner.
Key Takeaways ■ Regional Alignment: Synchronize with NCTCOG’s AV initiatives, freight planning, and climate resilience strategies. ■ Citywide Goals: Policies should reinforce Plan objectives such as connectivity, safety, and accessibility. ■ Implementation: Use project selection criteria (system efficiency, safety, travel choice, economic development) to operationalize policy goals. ■ Future Readiness: Integrate technology (ITS, MaaS), climate adaptation, and flexible design standards into all planning phases.
