1 Introduction This Summary Report presents the results of community and stakeholder engagement conducted throughout the development of the Fort Worth Master Transportation Plan. Engagement activities occurred across multiple phases of the planning process and included citywide Open House events, district-level Open Houses, coordination with the Comprehensive Plan process, transportation fairs, stakeholder meetings, and a series of one-to- one briefings with agency partners, community leaders, and private sector stakeholders. The Master Transportation Plan aims to unify Fort Worth’s transportation-related plans into a single, coordinated vision. The result is a capital-focused program aligned with city policies and funding realities, grounded in the needs and priorities of the Fort Worth community. As the transportation element of Reimagine Fort Worth, the city’s comprehensive plan, the plan establishes a clear framework for transportation vision, goals, policies, and project priorities, while incorporating the Vision Zero Safety Action Plan. Throughout the planning process, feedback was collected through in-person events, online tools, targeted outreach, and direct stakeholder coordination. Early engagement helped shape the plan’s goals, objectives, and Big Ideas, while subsequent phases refin ed project priorities, implementation strategies, and investment direction. This report summarizes the feedback received across all engagement efforts and documents how community input informed the final plan. 2 Survey The Moving a Million survey was an online questionnaire circulated broadly at the outset of the planning process through multiple communication channels, including the project website, email lists, social media, and partner networks. As one of the first ma jor engagement activities, the survey asked core, foundational questions intended to help shape the direction of the Master Transportation Plan—focusing on travel behavior, satisfaction with existing transportation systems, and priorities for improving safety and mobility. The results provide an early snapshot of community perspectives and establish a baseline to guide subsequent phases of analysis and decision- making. A summary of the survey findings is shown in Figure 1 .

3 Summary of Open Houses 3.1 Open House Objectives The Open Houses had four key objectives for the public: • Learn about the transportation planning process and the City of Fort Worth's goals. • Help the City of Fort Worth prioritize investment in our Big Ideas. • Share your Big Ideas for improving transportation in Fort Worth. • Map your most frequent trips and identify specific locations where improvements are needed to help the city plan and prioritize projects. 3.2 Advertising the Open Houses The Open Houses were publicized using several methods to reach relevant stakeholders from the surrounding community, local businesses and elected officials. Information about the M1M was made available in several ways, including through flyers, a news release, social media, and the project website in order to reach all sections of the community. This provided them with the opportunity and time to submit comments and feedback on the proposals. This will include information on the following activities: - Flyers - News release

- Social media - Website
3.3 Open House events 3.3.1 Open House Materials 3.3.1.1 Exhibit Boards
Both in person and online the Open House events displayed 17 exhibit boards (see Appendix D). The exhibit boards shared information on the City of Fort Worth’s six goals, these are as follows: o Safety First o Fix It First o Human Comfort o Economic Competitiveness o Technology o Equity E ach goal had two boards, the first providing data to support the goal and the second shared the objectives of each goal along with Big Ideas, measurable actions that could be implemented in order to achieve these goals. For each goal participants were asked to place sticker dots on the Big Ideas they wanted the city to prioritize and/or to write their own suggestions on sticky notes and attach them to the boards. 3.3.1.2 Project Overview Handout The Project Overview Handout (see Appendix D) was made available in person and online. It explained the purpose of the Open House, how The City of Fort Worth is developing a variety of plans that work together, the Master Transportation Planning Process and the key themes from
the previous open house as well as next steps. 3.3.1.3 Safety Action Plan High Injury Networks In addition to the Safety-First Big Ideas boards, three boards containing safety
countermeasure themes were displayed. For each district a map displaying the High Injury Networks (HIN) for that district was also shared so attendees could observe accident patterns in the Fort Worth area. Participants were asked to make comments on their preferences for the different types of countermeasures and if they agreed with the HIN as identified for their district. They were also asked to provide recommendations on other road network areas of concern. These boards can be found in Appendix D. 3.3.1.4 Mapping Activity Online and in person participants were able to map their trips with the in-person mapping activity included at the Open Houses. These were as follows:
7
1. Map Your Trips: Participants were asked what routes they take most often when traveling around Fort Worth. They used the mapping tool to plot their journeys and could add comments to include trip purpose or define the general route taken. 2. Hotspot ID: Participants were asked to pinpoint where they experience the most congestion and/or have safety concerns across the Fort Worth transportation network. They could add comments to share specific concerns at each location. 3. Map the Gaps: Participants were asked to identify gaps in Fort Worth’s transportation network by highlighting specific routes or areas where connections are lacking. They
could pinpoint locations or draw routes and add comments to these. 3.3.1.5 Comment Cards, Traffic Safety Survey and Demographic Survey
At the in-person events participants had the option to fill out comment cards and a traffic safety survey. On the comment cards participants could write any additional comments they had on a comment card provided by the project team. The traffic safety survey included questions about Fort Worth’s biggest traffic safety problems, the most dangerous places in Fort Worth (for driving, biking, and walking), email, district, and zip code. The demographic survey asked participants about their household income, age, race/ethnicity and zip code. All of the above were collected at the end of each meeting. 3.3.1.6 Open House webpage Throughout the duration of the Open Houses the Open House webpage was live to allow participants to view all of the materials at their own convenience. 3.3.1.7 Online Survey A short online survey was available via the project’s online Open House webpage. The survey collected demographic information, allowed respondents to provide their own Big Ideas and gave them the option to vote for their favored Big Ideas from the City of Fort Worth, under each goal. Participants could also provide any additional comments they had. A list of respondents
who participated in the online survey can be found at Appendix A. 3.3.2 District 10 Follow Up Open House Materials
The follow up meeting in District 10 had its own set of boards to closely look at specific concerns within the district. There were six boards in total that covered the following:
o District 10 Network Performance o District 10 Transportation Projects o District 10 Key Corridor Improvements o What we’ve heard in District 10 o What is Moving a Million o Mobility Mantras
8
For the ‘What we’ve heard in District 10 board, participants were asked to place a red or green dot next to comments from the first round of engagement regarding areas with the worst transportation issues. A red dot indicated that they disagreed, a green dot indicated they agreed. Participants were also asked ‘What else should we know?’ where they could share thoughts and add additional input to the board. 4 Overview of Open Houses A total of 180 community members attended the Open Houses, and over 598 stickers were placed on the exhibit boards in support of the Big Ideas for each goal. 59 participants shared their own Big Ideas through comment cards or sticky notes. 11 traffic surveys were also
collected, and 63 people completed the online survey. 4.1 Citywide Transportation Fair Events
Ten Open House events were held between October 19 and October 26, 2024. At each event, attendees were asked to sign in; these sign-in sheets can be found at Appendix A. A total of 112 people attended all the events. Out of these events, the most well-attended event was District 9, with 26 people, and the least well-attended events were District 4 and District 7, with 4 people. Following the initial ten open houses a further meeting was held on December 12, 2024 for District 10. This was in response to feedback received in the first meeting in District 10 that there was not adequate notice for the meeting. This event had 68 attendees making it the most well attended. The results and analysis of this event are presented separately in Section 5 of this report due to the nature of the information presented. Table 1 below summarizes the date, time, location, and number of attendees at each Open House.

6 Engagement Results and Analysis 6.1 M1M Goals – overall overview
Participants were asked to select the Big Ideas they felt most connected to or deemed most significant. Given the similarities between in-person engagement activities and the online survey, their results have been combined for analysis. As each Big Idea was connected to one of the M1M’s goals, the number of votes for each Big Idea under each goal has been combined to indicate which Goals received the most votes.

Figure 6 Overview of Big Idea Priorities by Goal As shown in Figure 5, over 26% of participants favored ‘Human Comfort’ the most; specifically , high-capacity city and regional transit, placing an emphasis on improved integration of transportation modes and street connectivity for more efficient and convenient travel experiences. Over 18% of participants favored ‘Fix It First’, making it the second most prioritized goal; specifically , connecting the grid. Improving the grid helps reduce the strain on existing roads by distributing traffic more evenly, which reduces wear and tear and helps maintain road conditions longer. Only 13% of participants preferred ‘Technology’ as a key goal, making it the lowest priority. The top focus was synchronized traffic signals. Coordinating traffic signals across key corridors helps reduce delays, improve travel times, and increase overall efficiency for both vehicles and pedestrians.

Participants were invited to share their own Big Ideas for enhancing mobility in Fort Worth. A total of 48 individuals provided responses to this online and 59 participants shared their own Big Ideas through comment cards or sticky notes in person. The following Big Ideas were proposed by multiple respondents: o Public transportation: o Light rail system implementation o Urgent development of subway transit o Passenger rail connections o Improvement of existing bus system by adding additional stops in neighborhoods and improving routes. o Expand service of on-demand Trinity Metro service to locations such as South Hills o Sidewalks, biking, pedestrian access: o Streets should have sidewalk traffic signalization
21
o A Leading pedestrian interval lets pedestrians have a head start when crossing busy streets. o Bike and pedestrian paths between cities o Dedicated, protected bike lanes on main streets o Make all commercially owned property add sidewalks to their properties o Building more mixed-use developments: o Reducing congestion : o Widening roads and increasing the number of lanes would help improve congestion, especially in the following areas: Avondale-Haslet and 287 156 between Sendera Ranch and Bonds Ranch Road Willow Springs to 287 South Freeway 287 North Fort Worth Avondale Haslet Road Blue Mound Road Bonds Ranch Road West of 287 o Roundabouts were also suggested as a way of reducing congestion. o T imed traffic lights that facilitate smooth traffic flow o Pausing development: o Development of new housing and facilities is outpacing the development of new roads and transportation systems. It was mentioned that pausing development o This would allow better connectivity in neighborhoods o Easier for people to access services without using cars would allow improvements to be made to address current problems and for future- proofing. Haslet was quoted by ten respondents as being a problem area. o Building roads before adding homes o Transportation impact fee for all developers o Railway overpasses or underpasses: o T hese were suggested by six respondents specifically to address the congestion and delays caused by the railroad crossing at Avondale Haslet Rd near Highway 156. o Fewer railroad crossings to reduce back-up and congestion o Rail access for commodity transporting building materials, aggregate, waste, etc. o Economic development: o Paid parking supports businesses o Increase urban housing to allow effective mass transit o Haslet area expressed concerns about lack of services and healthy food options o Build more shopping so travel across town is less frequent
22
Other Big Ideas that were suggested were smart traffic lights to help manage traffic flow , truck traffic law implementation , road repairs, and priority lanes for emergency service vehicles. 6.4 Do you have anything else to say or ask about transportation in Fort Worth? – online survey Respondents to the online survey were asked if they had anything else to say about transportation in Fort Worth. 28 respondents answered this question. The key issues raised in answer to this question are as follows: o T raffic Congestion: Respondents were frustrated with heavy traffic, especially in the Haslet area. Key causes included new housing developments and poorly timed traffic lights. o Road Infrastructure: Respondents highlighted the need for road expansion and improvements. Specific concerns include the lack of bridges over train tracks, poor road conditions, and insufficient parking. o Public Transportation: Lack of options was a common concern in Fort Worth especially for those who do not drive. o Safety Concerns: Respondents raised concerns about pedestrian safety, cycling safety, and the impact of traffic on emergency response times. o C ommunity Involvement: Respondents wanted to know how the findings of the Open House will be communicated. The proposed solutions to these issues were as follows: o Development and Infrastructure Coordination: Ensuring that new developments are accompanied by adequate infrastructure improvements. o Road Improvements: Building more roads, widening existing ones, and improving road conditions. Constructing bridges over train tracks was suggested to reduce traffic delays. o T raffic Management: Solutions included improving traffic light timing, revised intersection design, and traffic flow management. o Public Transportation: Expansion of bus services, introducing light rail or commuter rail options, and improving walking and cycling infrastructure. o Law Enforcement: Increasing police presence to enforce traffic laws and improve safety.

When asked what else they would like to share, 19 comments were left, and these are summarized as follows:
o Opposition to New Development: There was strong opposition to development, housing specifically was cited, until the existing infrastructure can support the current and future population. This was the most supported comment which was written more than once and had multiple green stickers placed next to them. Concerns included: Inability of schools to keep up with the growing population. E . Bonds Ranch Rd from Harmon to US 287 is experiencing heavy traffic, and new warehouses will worsen the situation. o Lack of Infrastructure Improvements: Residents shared frustration over the lack of road infrastructure improvements in Haslet over the past six years, despite promises. o Developer Responsibility: Criticism was directed at developers for focusing on selling homes without addressing infrastructure needs. Sendera Ranch, approved 20 years ago, was cited as an example where infrastructure has lagged behind development. o T raffic and Congestion Concerns: The following areas were cited as areas of concern: o Major backups occur at the intersection of Main St. and 156 in Haslet. o H igh school and apartment traffic at 287 & Blue Mound Rd . o Willow Springs Rd: The road is deteriorating south of 287. Multiple comments highlighted the need for specific road improvements, such as: o Widening the bridge over 287. o Adding designated left turn lanes and lengthening light cycles. o Removing stop signs and adding roundabouts. o Expanding entry points to 287 and improving access lanes. o More East-West Routes. o An off-ramp for Willow Springs o Immediate Action Needed: Residents called for immediate plans to alleviate traffic congestion, especially with more homes being built. Suggestions included building bridges, overpasses, and additional lanes to handle increased traffic. o Safety and Accessibility: Concerns about safety and accessibility were raised, particularly in areas like Dorado Ranch subdivision and Bonds Ranch Rd, where accidents are frequent and exiting the subdivision is challenging.
28
o O ngoing Construction: Harmon Rd is still under construction, but an active traffic signal is causing unnecessary backups. Respondents suggested deactivating the signal until the road is open could help. 7 One-to- One Stakeholder Briefings In advance of formal adoption, the project team conducted a series of targeted, one-to-one stakeholder briefings with City leadership, regional partners, agencies, and key private stakeholders. These briefings were designed to provide early visibility into the draft Master Transportation Plan, answer questions, identify concerns, and build alignment prior to public release and formal hearings. Each meeting was tailored to the stakeholder’s role, district, or operational responsibility. Discussions generally focused on updates to the Master Roadway Network, roadway classification refinements, priority project investments, implementation strategy, and how the plan aligns with funding cycles and partner coordination. Feedback from these briefings informed final refinements prior to publication.
