The Master Transportation Plan (MTP) was adopted by the Fort Worth City Council on June 9th, 2026, and replaces the Master Thoroughfare and Active Transportation plan (M&C 26-0506, Ordinance).
The MTP links land use and other infrastructure decisions with transportation investment, helping to:
- A clear, data-driven capital program that translates policy direction into prioritized projects
- More strategic funding decisions that support timely and efficient project delivery
- Greater safety, reliability, and economic competitiveness across the transportation system.
Master Transportation Plan (MTP)- The master document that brings the various transportation elements below together as one unified city policy and capital plan. The MTP can be found at the download link below. For more information on how the program was developed, visit the project website here.
Master Transportation Plan Elements:
Vision Zero Safety Action Plan (SAP)
The SAP is Fort Worth’s roadmap to reducing roadway deaths and severe injuries. It is grounded in the safe system approach, which aims to eliminate deaths and severe injuries by anticipating human mistakes and minimizing impacts on the human body when crashes do occur. More information can be found at Safety Action Plan
Master Roadway Network (MRN)
The MRN is the long-range plan for Major Transportation facilities in the City of Fort Worth. The Master Roadway Network is not targeted to a specific point in the future, but is intended to accommodate the ultimate development of the City’s thoroughfare network. The MRN can be found at Master Roadway Network Dashboard.
Active Transportation and Micromobility Network (ATMN)
The ATM network is a citywide network plan for alternative modes of transportation, including walking, cycling and using transit, as well as the needs of wheelchair users and other types of non-motorized mobility devices. More information can be found on Active Transportation and Micromobility Network
Transportation Investment Program (TIP)
The TIP is Fort Worth’s roadmap for funding and delivering transportation capital projects. It identifies and prioritizes roadway, freight, and active transportation improvements, aligning them with bond programs, grants, and developer contributions. More information can be found at Transportation Investment Program.
Access Management
Access management is the coordinated design of access to and from roadways, with the goal of improving the safety and operation of the City's street network. An effective access management program can reduce crashes, increase roadway capacity, and reduce travel time delay. The Access Management Policy includes requirements for driveway, intersection, street, and median-opening spacings, auxiliary turn lanes, and joint- and cross-access. The policy also provides guidance on application to legal non-conforming access, and provides an administrative review process and flexibility for constrained development sites. The Access Management Policy was adopted by the Fort Worth City Council on June 5, 2018 (M&C G-19287 Ordinance No. 23225-06-2018, and updated on June 9th 2026 (M&C-26- 0506, Ordinance)
