Master Transportation Plan Task 4: Gap Analysis and Needs Network
• Super Target • Walmart + Race Street • TRE Link • Stalcup + Fitzhugh • Tarrant Community College (TCC) Campus + Veterans Affairs Clinic • Sycamore + McCart • Rock Quarry + Overton Ridge
These temporal gaps were primarily located at key trip generators and corridors that serve destinations such as retail, education, healthcare, and employment. They reflect a mismatch between service availability and need, particularly for essential workers, low-income riders, students, and those without flexible work or travel hours. Fixed-route services operate in several areas of Fort Worth, but infrequent schedules, limited-service span, and weekend or evening service gaps limit transit availability, affecting the population who rely on transit as their primary mode of commute. The analysis of temporal gaps underscores the importance of not just where service exists but when it operates, emphasizing the need for improved and more frequent coverage on key corridors and to key destinations. While this analysis identifies routes and locations with limited span and frequency, further evaluation on time-of-day ridership performance, route scheduling, and community engagement will improve transit performance and promote transit usage in the region. 3.5.2.3 Connectivity Gaps Connectivity gaps were defined where transit routes fail to effectively interline or provide seamless transfer points, limiting mobility across the network. Using headway data and route schedules, this step reviewed transfer points across the Trinity Metro network to identify locations with poor schedule alignment or lack of physical connection between intersecting routes. Long transfer wait times, defined as over 15 minutes, at key hubs were also flagged as barriers to seamless travel, particularly where multiple routes intersect.
