Introduction The City of Fort Worth's commitment to improving the safety and efficiency of its transportation systems has led to the development of the Safety Action Plan (SAP). The purpose of this review is to identify existing policies, regulations, plans, practices, and programs supporting traffic safety in the City of Fort Worth. In coordination with the city, the project team reviewed relevant documents, including the Vision Zero Resolution, Active Transportation Plan (ATP), Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP), Complete Streets Policy, Fort Worth City Code of Ordinances, and Transportation Management Program Areas. The review focused on the key components relevant to traffic safety, the alignment with Vision Zero, and the identification of potential areas for updates and/or implications for SAP development. This review will help the city better understand traffic safety related policies, planning, and implementation, and will serve as a reference document when developing strategies and actions as part of the SAP or other citywide safety initiatives. Specifically, this policy review focused on the City’s current practices in safety planning and implementation. This includes an overview of policy frameworks, identification of potential policy gaps, and areas for improvement in both new policies and the implementation of existing policies. By incorporating the takeaways from the policy review into recommendation development, along with data- informed analysis and public and stakeholder involvement, the SAP will create a holistic effort to identify and develop actionable recommendations.
