ES.1.4. MTP Focus Areas As shown in Figure ES.3 , the current transportation network in Fort Worth comprises four core modes – Roadway, Freight, Active Transportation, and Transit – that together provide a comprehensive multimodal network. Collectively, these modes form an integrated multimodal system that supports Fort Worth’s growth by improving connectivity, reducing congestion, and enhancing access to jobs, education, and services. Each mode serves a distinct purpose, contributing to Fort Worth’s transportation, accessibility, and economic vitality:
Roadway: Streets, arterials, and highways provide the backbone for personal and regional travel, focusing on connectivity and reducing congestion to meet growing demand. Freight: Truck and intermodal routes keep goods moving efficiently, with priority on safe last-mile access and continuous corridors linking industrial hubs and regional markets. Active Transportation: Walking, biking, and rolling options supported by sidewalks and bikeways create safe, connected, and low-stress travel choices that enhance livability and complement transit. Transit: Bus and rail services offer accessibility mobility, connecting people to jobs, schools, and essential services through reliable coverage and frequency.
