Master Transportation Plan Task 4: Gap Analysis and Needs Network
connectivity. The analysis revealed: • Freight activity clusters with poor last-mile access or constrained infrastructure • Regional and city freight activity cluster shortest and secondary routes • Safety hotspots using Crash Records Information System (CRIS) data for commercial vehicle killed or seriously injured (KSI) crashes • Gaps in first/last-mile connectivity, truck parking, and staging at freight activity clusters • Regional and intercity routing inefficiencies due to regulatory, functional class, and physical barriers (e.g., rail crossings) 1.3.3 Transit Transit gaps were identified through spatial, temporal, and performance-based analyses of the Trinity Metro network. Key components included: • Walkshed analysis (0.25-, 0.5-, and 1-mile buffers) for fixed-route access • Coverage and accessibility to key destinations such as jobs, schools, hospitals, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) retailers • Transit-supportive area classification via population and employment density • Performance benchmarking against peer systems (Dallas Area Rapid Transit [DART], VIA, CapMetro) Gap prioritization combined TSI, population density, employment density, and transit propensity into a weighted scoring model. Resulting priority zones guide macro-level interventions including flexible services, network expansion, realignment, and transit priority treatments. 1.3.4 Active Transportation The active transportation gap analysis builds upon the work performed for the 2019 Active Transportation Plan (ATP) and identifies remaining gaps in the Active Transportation Network. The analysis incorporates new active transportation infrastructure constructed since 2019 to refine and update gaps and other areas of need. 1.4 Policy Gap Analysis The Policy Gap Analysis evaluated Fort Worth’s current policy framework against the transportation objectives of the M1M Plan, benchmarking practices across peer cities (e.g., Denver, Seattle, Austin). This review identifies missing or underdeveloped policy areas that limit multimodal integration, safety, equity, and future-ready infrastructure deployment. Key policies evaluated included access management and subdivision design standards, transit-oriented development (TOD) and urban village planning, freight master plan coordination, and parking and
