Master Transportation Plan Task 3: Performance Measures 4/21/25
system in the city. The M1M Plan is unable to integrate this measure because of the insufficient TSP system counts. This measure can be included in the plan’s performance tracking once the statistics of TSP systems become available. • Number of traffic signals with emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) This measure documents the number of traffic signals deployed with the EVP system that grants emergency vehicle priority to reduce responding times for roadway accidents and other emergencies such as fire and crimes, which is important to enhance public safety. However, the incorporation of this measure into the plan is hindered by a data gap in available EVPs in the city. When EVP coverage and installation numbers are determined, this measure can be integrated into the M1M Plan. • Number of pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHB) (new construction or upgraded) This measure tracks the installation of PHBs, traffic control devices that will alert drivers to pedestrian presence through flashing beacons. PHBs can improve crosswalk safety and reduce vehicle-pedestrian crash risks, especially in high-pedestrian areas. However, insufficient records of PHB deployments make it challenging to track the number of PHBs in the city. This measure can be incorporated into the plan when a recording system of active PHBs becomes available. • Number of pilot projects related to Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) technology This measure evaluates the progress of CAV innovations by quantifying the projects in Fort Worth, such as autonomous freight trucks, vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, and sensor-integrated traffic management. Those projects can promote infrastructure adaptations and inform regulatory updates. However, the study team is unable to incorporate this measure into the plan due to the absence of a comprehensive documentation mechanism for CAV pilot projects. Once established, this measure can be integrated into the plan’s performance tracking. F. Equity The following measures are linked to the equity goal of ensuring accessible, affordable, and reliable transportation options for all ages and abilities. All equity measures track metrics across the city. F-1: Housing and transportation costs as a percentage of household income (H+T Index) Source: Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) 6 Baseline (2023) : 42 percent (24 percent on housing + 18 percent on transportation) Baseline Methodology: The H+T Index measures the affordability of housing and transportation costs
