The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and the City of Fort Worth are requesting consultant services to develop a citywide active transportation plan. In accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Complete Streets Policy, this Plan for the City of Fort Worth will integrate the adopted Bike Fort Worth Plan, Walk Fort Worth Plan, Master Thoroughfare Plan, and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority Master Plan to create a seamless network of on- and off-street pedestrian and bicycle facilities integrated with the public transportation and thoroughfare networks. The Plan will develop a network of priorities for access, safety, comfort, and other key factors to assist in funding priorities.

The Fort Worth Active Transportation Plan will develop a level of comfort analysis for multi-modal transportation throughout the City, and identify a citywide active transportation network that will enable regional non-motorized travel, while benefiting local active transportation trips. The Plan will produce an implementation strategy and framework for prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian projects across the city.
