More about the Fort Worth Active Transportation Plan:
Fort Worth’s goal is to develop a plan for a transportation system that provides multiple alternatives for travel. The Active Transportation Plan will focus on walking and bicycling, including connectivity between other modes such as vehicles and transit. This plan will integrate and update previous planning efforts such as the Walk Fort Worth and Bike Fort Worth plans, develop a new Trails Master Plan, and provide coordination with the regional Transit Master Plan. The result will be a unified citywide transportation network for people who walk and bike, with a coordinated implementation strategy for planning, prioritizing and building improvements.
The Active Transportation Plan is a validation requirement for the Blue Zones Project,a community-wide well-being improvement initiative to help make healthy choices easier for everyone in Fort Worth.
Active Transportation Plan Objectives
The primary objectives of the Fort Worth Active Transportation Plan include the following:
1. Identify the Active Transportation network for people who walk, use transit and bicycle thereby creating a citywide seamless network of on- and off-street bicycle and pedestrian ways suitable for people of all ages and abilities
2. Identify appropriate level of comfort scores or metrics across the Active Transportation network
3. Update the City’s Bike Fort Worth and Walk Fort Worth Plans and develop a new comprehensive Trails Master Plan
4. Develop guiding principles and criteria for evaluating network alternatives and for prioritizing funding and projects that include equity, health, safety, economic development and access
5. Develop policies, performance targets, and design guidelines
6. Prioritize projects
7. Develop an implementation and funding plan
