ES.1.5. Realizing the Plan The MTP is designed to deliver fundable and implementable projects through a data-driven approach that prioritizes safety, connectivity, and fiscal responsibility. By aligning technical analysis with financial planning and community priorities, the MTP prioritizes investments that are practical and impactful. The following outlines the foundation of this approach, our priority projects, our implementation timeline, and our financial framework, that together guide how Fort Worth will advance its mobility goals: What - Our Priority Projects The MTP identifies a comprehensive Network of multimodal transportation segments that together shape the Fort Worth transportation backbone. This network addresses safety, access, congestion relief, and system connectivity across roadway, transit, freight, and active- transportation systems. The network reflects the outcomes of technical analysis, community priorities, and coordination among City departments and regional partners. When - Our Implementation Timeline Projects are organized into fiscally constrained short-, medium-, and long-term investment tiers that align with City investment cycles, funding availability, and project readiness. The short-term tier includes projects that can advance within the next bond program; mid-term investments extend through the following decade; and long-term projects represent transformative infrastructure solutions identified for future planning horizons. This timeline aligns with other transportation agencies such as North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). How Much - Our Financial Framework The Transportation Investment Program (TIP) integrates fiscal capacity with project selection criteria and policy alignment, prioritizing investments that are both impactful and financially feasible. Estimated project costs, available funding sources, and local match requirements inform each tier’s delivery schedule. Together, these elements define a data-driven framework that the City can update as priorities, funding, and conditions evolve.
Deficiencies or gaps in the network connectivity, accessibility, and safety impact people’s travel experience, development patterns, and the City’s economic competitiveness. The MTP prioritizes projects that support local and regional needs focused on:
Expanding transportation options to meet diverse community needs.
Tackling regional challenges to improve economic competitiveness and reduce traffic.
Closing network gaps caused by railroads, rivers, construction related factors and other barriers.
Rebuilding aging infrastructure to support long-term resilience.
