Master Transportation Plan Task 4: Gap Analysis and Needs Network
represents trip attraction density. The brighter colors indicate higher density. Purple indicates the district has both high densities of trip production and attraction. Figure 9 shows the travel patterns of trips in the City of Fort Worth. As shown in the map, the districts on the west side have the most internal trips and inter-district trips due to high projected growth. As in current travel patterns, the future projections keep showing the north of the city as a big attractor/ generator given by Alliance. Downtown is mostly connected to south and west of the city, and districts in the south create another hub of strong trip connections. Figure 10 and Figure 11 show the travel patterns of trips between the City of Fort Worth and the districts outside of the city based on the NCTCOG 2050 model. Figure 10 shows the travel patterns of trips from the city to the districts outside, while Figure 11 shows the travel patterns of trips from district outside the city to the city. The lines only show inter-district trips larger than 250. Figure 10 shows that the origins of trips going from the city to the outside, mostly concentrated in the north, and their destinations are on the east side of the city, traveling to areas such Highland Park, residential communities to the north, and DFW Airport. Figure 11 indicates that trips originating from outside the city are predominantly concentrated at the four cardinal points: east, north, west, and south, with relatively short distances, while few trips are from west to the center of the city.
