ES.1.2. Defining the Master Transportation Plan The MTP is Fort Worth’s first unified, city-wide transportation policy and planning framework designed to guide the City’s mobility future through 2050, focusing on safely and efficiently connecting people to Fort Worth and beyond through the identification and prioritization of roadway network and transit systems, public realm, and street infrastructure projects. The MTP links land use and other infrastructure decisions with transportation investment, helping to: ■ A clear, data-driven capital program that translates policy direction into prioritized projects ■ More strategic funding decisions that support timely and efficient project delivery ■ Greater safety, reliability, and economic competitiveness across the transportation system ES.1.3. MTP Elements Grounded in the community’s vision and built on established policies and initiatives, MTP brings together four key City of Fort Worth mobility initiatives: Transportation Investment Program (TIP), Master Roadway Network, Active Transportation and Micromobility Network (ATMN), and Vision Zero Safety Action Plan (SAP). The following defines the purpose of each Plan Element:
MRN
The Transportation Investment Program (4- year and 10-year program) is Fort Worth’s roadmap for funding and delivering transportation capital projects. It identifies and prioritizes roadway, freight, and active transportation improvements, aligning them with bond programs, grants, and developer contributions. The TIP also sequences projects for near, mid, and long- term delivery to move priorities from planning to construction.
The Master Roadway Network (MRN) is the long- range Plan for major transportation facilities in the City of Fort Worth. The Master Roadway Network is not targeted to a specific point in the future, but is intended to accommodate the ultimate development of the City’s thoroughfare network.
The Active Transportation and Micromobility Network (ATMN) is a citywide network plan for alternative modes of transportation, including walking, cycling and using transit, as well as the needs of wheelchair users and other types of non- motorized mobility devices. Active transportation is an important element of Fort Worth’s mobility network, since it not only increases transportation choices but also supports healthy, active living.
This Vision Zero Safety Action Plan (SAP) is Fort Worth’s roadmap to reducing roadway deaths and severe injuries. It is grounded in the Safe System Approach, which aims to eliminate deaths and severe injuries by anticipating human mistakes and minimizing impacts on the human body when crashes do occur.
