Key Outputs
A geospatial tool that identifies areas most suitable for investment based on land use, density, and network readiness A comprehensive review of physical and operational gaps across roadway, transit, freight, and active transportation networks Benchmarking Fort Worth’s policies against best practices to address deficiencies in safety, accessibility, and multimodal integration
ES.3.1. Analysis Objective The Multimodal Gap Analysis and Need Assessment serve as a foundational component of the MTP by identifying areas with the greatest need for strategic transportation investment, aligned with long- term development and projected regional growth. It informed targeted interventions that improve connectivity, support future growth, increase access to opportunities, and guide infrastructure prioritization. The analysis focuses on identifying multimodal transportation gaps (i.e., physical, operational, and policy-related) that affect system performance today and will influence future travel demand. The gap analysis is structured around three components, which are detailed in Table ES.1. The outputs of these analyses, as illustrated in Figure ES.5 informed the geographic focus for investment, define physical and operational needs across modes, and allowed for institutional readiness and regulatory support. Together, they produce a prioritized, multimodal project list and policy roadmap for implementation.
