The resulting share of transit commute for the Downtown areas is shown in Figure 13Downtowns with more high-capacity transit reached a transit share of ~18%, while downtowns with intercity and commuter rail only, had a transit share of 1%. However, Fort Worth’s transit share is significantly below that target, with 0.29% of the transit share currently.
Figure 14: Transit Commute Share – Select Downtowns
The transit service provided in a city’s downtown or Core Area is reflected in its citywide commute patterns. Regions served primarily by infrequent commuter or intercity rail tend to exhibit low transit commute shares, while cities with high-frequency, dedicated right-of-way services such as light/heavy rail consistently demonstrate higher citywide transit mode shares. Table 5 summarizes these citywide mode splits by type of rail service. As shown, cities with limited, low-frequency commuter rail generally maintain transit shares near 1-2%, whereas cities with more robust high-capacity transit options achieve substantially higher transit mode shares. This pattern reinforces that the level of development envisioned in the CtC/AOS scenario would be most effectively supported by higher-frequency, high-capacity transit investments. The final targets are shown in Table 6 .
