ES.3.4. Policy Gap Analysis Outcomes The Policy Gap Analysis establishes a structured approach to evaluate Fort Worth’s transportation-related policies against best practices and regional benchmarks. It focuses on how existing policies support multimodal integration, safety, accessibility, and future- ready infrastructure. The framework used a comparative methodology, reviewing peer city policies across the following areas: ■ Safe Streets ■ Curbside Management ■ Transit Oriented Development (TOD) ■ Transportation Demand Management ■ Vision Zero ■ System Maintenance ■ Project Readiness Active transportation priority areas and transit connectivity opportunities will inform ongoing planning by the City and Trinity Metro. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION & TRANSIT
Key policy priorities include strengthening safety and accessibility and adopting performance metrics to track outcomes like crash reduction, mode share, and accessibility. Future readiness requires flexible policies that anticipate emerging technologies and climate risks. Recommended actions include codifying TOD overlays, implementing transit priority measures, deploying dynamic curbside management tools, and enforcing connectivity standards to prevent fragmented development. Implementation will require targeted amendments to zoning, subdivision, and traffic ordinances, supported by regional coordination and public-private partnerships. By embedding accountability and adaptability into its policy framework, Fort Worth can position itself for sustainable growth and resilient mobility in the decades ahead.
