Transit Assessment Recommendations Methodology
Enhanced Transit Stop Example in Fort Worth
Like the Pedestrian Experience section, 5-minute walksheds were developed around all transit stops in the East Berry Street study area. These walksheds provided guidance on the sidewalk gaps that should be filled to better connect residents to transit stops. Once the 5-minute transit stop walkshed was created, the areas that experienced a high volume of missing sidewalk that overlap the walkshed were analyzed through a qualitative lens to identify which locations sidewalk connections should be prioritized. Using this methodology, six locations were identified based on the density of missing sidewalks, density of residential housing, and proximity to transit stops. Additionally, an inventory of all transit stops in the study area was conducted. Due to the number of residents that expressed the need for transit stops to be enhanced, this inventory assessment allowed the project team to recognize the transit stops in need of improvement. Once the stops needing enhancements were identified, recommendations on the type of enhancements needed were developed. Using the six priority transit sidewalk areas, the transit signs and benches needing enhancements that are closest to these locations are prioritized when making recommendations.
