Master Transportation Plan Task 3: Performance Measures 4/21/25
• Active Transportation: The importance of walking and biking infrastructure and pedestrian safety. • Quality of Life: Other infrastructure needs to improve living standards such as better access to local services and short commutes.
These public inputs provided valuable guidance for the development of the performance measures.
Leveraging Peer Agency Experience The project team reviewed performance measures developed and adopted by peer cities to identify successful practices and adaptable measures that align with M1M’s goals. Seattle, Denver, and Austin were selected as peer cities due to their similar characteristics to Fort Worth, such as population size, growth trend, and transportation challenges, and their similar transportation plans as discussed below. Seattle Transportation Plan, Seattle, Washington 1 The Seattle Transportation Plan (STP) adopted eight outcome-focused performance measures to track how projects and programs help to achieve the STP’s six goals of safety, equity, sustainability, mobility and economic vitality, livability, and maintenance and modernization. The performance measures include the number of traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT), infrastructure condition, access to multimodal facilities, and transportation cost burden. The STP team also ensured that most metrics could be monitored through the city’s Race and Social Equity Index, which combines race, ethnicity, and other demographic data, to help the city meet equity goals and direct investments towards priority populations. Denver Moves Everyone, Denver, Colorado 2 Denver Moves Everyone developed a total of 25 performance measures for the plan’s five goals— mobility, safety, sustainability, community, and quality. Mobility measures aim to increase the usage of public and active transportation with benchmarks such as 15 percent of trips made by transit by 2030. Safety measures target 0 traffic fatalities by 2030. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the focus of the sustainability goal, assessed through metrics such as increasing tree canopy and the number of EV registrations. Community measures facilitate equity during the planning process and project development, including tracking the number of projects that use the Racial Equity Toolkit for public engagement and commute time of the Black, Indigenous, and people of color population. Finally, the quality measures concentrate on transportation asset maintenance, demonstrated by all assets
