3.3 COORDINATE WITH REGIONAL PARTNERS
Collaborate with NCTCOG and TxDOT to align Fort Worth’s truck routes with regional freight corridors. This coordination will promote a cohesive and efficient regional network that minimizes unexpected detours and bottlenecks. • Update truck route street designations to reflect current freight needs, future freight volume growth, and vehicle weight capacity, ensuring roads are rated appropriately for the vehicles using them. • Incorporate enforcement and communication strategies to ensure compliance and improve awareness among freight operators. • Analyze crash data to identify the percentage of crashes occurring on freight corridors and connect these findings with regional freight corridors to target safety improvements. • Differentiate between smaller commercial vehicles and 18-wheelers when updating route designations and planning infrastructure to meet the specific needs of each vehicle type.
