Ultimately, the Master Transportation Plan is a program for project delivery. It establishes a clear basis for advancing projects, preserving right-of- way (ROW), aligning funding strategies, and sequencing investments over time. By emphasizing feasibility, prioritization, and delivery, the Plan positions Fort Worth to move deliberately from planning to implementation as the City continues to grow.
A central focus of Fort Worth’s Master Transportation Plan is maintaining and reinvesting in existing infrastructure while planning strategically for growth. Preserving a state of good repair, closing critical network gaps, and sequencing improvements are essential to sustaining system performance as demand increases. The Plan establishes a clear framework for project prioritization and phasing, providing predictability in how projects are evaluated, funded, and delivered.
By 2045, Fort Worth’s road network is planned to expand from:
2023 Lane Miles
2045 Lane Miles
6,392 lane miles
4,706 lane miles
Freeway Principal Arterial Minor Arterial Collectors Freeway Ramp Frontage Road Managed Lanes
36% increase
This requires strategic investments across all functional classifications to meet rising travel demands.
Public and stakeholder input played an important role in shaping the Plan’s priorities and implementation approach. Moving a Million served as the City’s outreach and engagement initiative for the Master Transportation Plan, providing opportunities for residents, businesses, partner agencies, and stakeholders to inform priorities, tradeoffs, and areas of focus. That input, combined with technical analysis and interagency coordination, helped the Plan reflect both community perspectives and operational realities. The Master Transportation Plan may be referenced in some documents as the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Such references shall be understood to mean this adopted Master Transportation Plan and its Master Roadway Network.
