C-12: Passenger trips per revenue vehicle miles Source: Trinity Metro Baseline (2023) : 0.4 Baseline Methodology: The passenger trips per revenue vehicle miles metric measures the effectiveness of the city’s transit services. The number is calculated by dividing the annual unlinked trips by annual vehicle revenue miles. 2050 Target: 1 Target Setting Methodology: Based on the review of peer city passenger trips per revenue vehicle miles, 1 is a feasible target for Fort Worth and encourages the improvement of operational efficiency and higher service utilization. Responsible Agency : Trinity Metro Reporting Frequency : Annual C-13: Percentage of ground covered by leaves, branches, and stems (tree canopy) Source: Fort Worth UFMP Baseline (2023) : 19 percent ground coverage Baseline Methodology: The tree canopy percentage measures the city’s land area shaded by trees, reflecting Fort Worth’s environmental sustainability and overall livability. The UFMP recommends assessing tree canopy at least once every 5 years. The UFMP study team worked with PlanIT GEO, an urban forestry consulting firm to calculate the tree canopy percentage through GIS analysis using Light Detection and Ranging imagery. 2050 Target: 30 percent ground coverage Target Setting Methodology: The UFMP team set the 2050 target at 30 percent by examining the available land area, tree canopy cover, tree equity, city priorities, future land use, and opportunities to mitigate urban heat and preserve forest land. Increasing tree canopy to 30 percent will require a total of 76,200 new trees annually, including both replacing lost trees due to developments or pests and planting new trees.
