Master Transportation Plan Task 3: Performance Measures 4/21/25
Households that can reach neighborhood amenities such as grocery stores by 10-minute walk via sidewalk is an effective performance metric to measure pedestrian accessibility and the city’s walkability, reflecting transportation accessibility and equity in Fort Worth. However, due to data limitations, this measure is not included in the core performance measures, as it is challenging to establish the baseline value. Future data collection efforts and methodology improvements may allow the integration of this measure into performance monitoring. • Number of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Ramps improved/installed This value measures the number of ADA-compliant ramps in the city’s street network. It is an important indicator that represents accessibility and equity in Fort Worth as it assesses the accommodation of the transportation infrastructure for individuals with disabilities. However, the current data gap of ADA compliance of ramps makes it challenging to precisely track this metric. Future records that detail the ADA compliance information will allow the incorporation of this measure into M1M’s performance tracking. • Annual hours of peak-hour excessive delay per capita This measure tracks the amount of time roadway users spend in traffic delays during peak hours exceeding a normal delay threshold (the greater value of 20 miles per hour or 60 percent of the posted speed limit) from 6 A.M. to 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. to 8 P.M. It serves as a valuable indicator of the operational efficiency of the city’s transportation system and residents’ daily mobility. The M1M Plan is not able to incorporate this measure yet because vehicle types (e.g., SOV, shared ride) are not included in NCTCOG’s TDM model, the traffic data source of M1M. This measure can be integrated into the plan once the vehicle type data is available. D. Economy The following measures are linked to the economic goal of supporting businesses, improving regional and global connectivity, facilitating trade and investment, promoting labor mobility, and enhancing prosperity. All economic measures track metrics across the city.
D-1: Job opportunity increase Source: NCTCOG and ACS Baseline (2023) : 430,033 employments / 756 employers with at least 100 employees
Baseline Methodology: Job opportunity increase measures Fort Worth’s economic vitality as well as accessibility to employment centers. The employment number baseline is derived from ACS’s economic characteristics data profile, and the employer number is derived from NCTCOG’s regional data center. 2050 Target: Upward trend
