Together, these four cases provide a comprehensive basis for evaluating how Fort Worth’s transportation system responds to alternative land use patterns and infrastructure strategies.
7.1 Travel Demand Summary
Table 10 summarizes the total number of trips occurring within the City of Fort Worth and within the Core Area for each scenario by time period. These values include all internal and external trips assigned to the network during the AM peak, PM peak, and off-peak (OP) periods.

Compared to the Baseline 2050, implementation of the AOS growth strategy (Scenario 1) results in a noticeable increase in total trips within both the City and the Core Area across all time periods. While overall citywide trips increase, a substantially larger share of travel activity is concentrated within the Core, reflecting the intended outcome of compact, higher-density development patterns. Scenarios 2 and 3 maintain nearly identical total trip levels to Scenario 1, as no additional demographic growth is introduced. Minor reductions in citywide and Core-area trips in Scenario 3 reflect the applied transit mode-shift assumptions, which reallocate a portion of auto trips to transit in priority corridors rather than eliminating travel demand altogether. 7.2 Roadway Network and Lane Mileage Changes in roadway lane mileage across scenarios reflect the coding of additional projects included in the M1M/CtC network. Figure 16 presents lane mileage change within the City of Fort Worth for Scenario 2 as compared to Baseline (Mileage remains same in Baseline and Scenario 1, and Scenario 2 and Scenario 3; since new projects were coded in Scenario 2 only which were then carried over in Scenario 3- yielding an increased mileage in Scenario 2 onwards).
Overall, the majority of added lane mileage occurs on collectors, minor arterials, and principal arterials, consistent with the intent of the M1M program to improve local and sub-regional connectivity rather
