Gap Areas and Recommendations
Implements transit signal priority (TSP).
• Use AVL and GPS data to inform dynamic scheduling and route optimization. Design bus stops and bike lanes to minimize conflicts and improve accessibility.
•
• Modifies schedules and routes based on performance data and rider needs. • Uses GPS and AVL systems to track performance and adjust operations dynamically. • Encourages pilot projects and scales up based on results. Promotes collaboration with regional transit agencies, traffic departments, and emergency services. • Establishes clear policy goals such as reducing single- occupancy vehicle trips, improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing access to transit, biking, and walking options, and promoting equity in transportation access. • Integrates TDM into land use and development by requiring plans for new developments, especially those near transit corridors or in high-density zones. • Curates development requirements based on project size, use type, and location. • Provides a TDM toolkit, offering a flexible menu of strategies such as transit subsidies, carpool/vanpool programs, secure bike parking and showers, teleworking and flexible schedules, or real-time transit displays. Strategies would ideally be assigned point values or tiers to ensure meaningful implementation. • Prioritizes strategies that benefit low-income and underserved communities. • Requires multilingual outreach and ADA-compliant infrastructure. • Requires monitoring and reporting (annual or biennial) on TDM outcomes using performance metrics like mode share, VMT, and parking utilization. • Offers development incentives such as reduced parking minimums or expedited permitting for strong TDM plans. • Encourages pilot programs and data-sharing partnerships. • Aligns TDM efforts with regional transportation plans, climate action goals, and public health initiatives. • Establishes interdepartmental teams for implementation and enforcement. • Leverages technology to promote alternatives and track usage.
Transportation Demand Management
• While there is no formally defined TDM policy, the city has articulated goals around improving multimodal transportation, reducing reliance on single-occupancy vehicles, and promoting equity in access to transportation. • Fort Worth has made efforts to align transportation planning with land use, particularly in areas of high growth and near transit corridors. • Equity is a stated priority, with an emphasis on improving transportation access for underserved communities. • The city uses digital tools and data platforms to support transportation planning and public engagement. • Fort Worth has shown interest in adapting to trends like micromobility and remote work, with some flexibility built into its transportation planning processes.
• Require developers to submit TDM plans, especially for projects near transit or in high-density areas. Make a standardized toolkit offering a menu of TDM strategies with point values or tiers publicly available. • Require regular (annual or biennial) reporting on TDM outcomes using metrics like mode share, VMT, or parking utilization. • Outline incentives such as reduced parking minimums or expedited permitting for developments with strong TDM plans. • Mandate multilingual outreach or ADA-compliant infrastructure in TDM implementation. • Develop programs targeting major employers, schools, or hospitals to implement commute trip reduction strategies. • Offer formal technical assistance or recognition programs for TDM leaders or innovators. • Integrate MaaS platforms to support multimodal trip planning and fare payment.
