Master Transportation Plan Task 4: Gap Analysis and Needs Network
• Complete Streets Policy: Requires streets to be designed for all users—pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and drivers—regardless of age or ability. • Transportation Impact Fee: Charges developers a fee to fund transportation infrastructure needed to support new growth. • Subdivision Ordinance: Sets standards for street layout, connectivity, and infrastructure in new residential developments. • Tax Increment Financing Districts: Uses future tax revenue increases to fund infrastructure improvements in designated areas. • Neighborhood Traffic Calming: Implements measures like speed humps and roundabouts to reduce speeding and improve safety in residential areas. • Safe Routes to School / Safe Routes to Transit: Improves pedestrian and bike access to schools and transit stops to promote safe, active travel. • Railroad Safety Program: Enhances safety at rail crossings and coordinates with rail operators to reduce conflicts with other modes. 4.2 Methodology This review provides a systematic evaluation of the strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in Fort Worth’s current policies by comparing them to those in peer communities. These peers include cities identified in the previous task—Denver, Austin, and Seattle—as well as other cities in the North Texas region and those recognized for best practices in specific policy areas. Table 12 presents this comparative analysis, benchmarking them against established best practices. The findings highlight key gaps and opportunities for improvement to help Fort Worth achieve its M1M objectives.
