Fort Worth is gearing up for a future where traffic fatalities and serious injuries are a thing of the past, tackling this ambitious goal through the Vision Zero initiative, a key element of the city's broader Moving a Million (M1M) Master Transportation Plan. At the center of this movement, Fort Worth's Vision Zero Safety Action Plan nears its completion, and residents can dive into the finer details during an upcoming open house event.
As reported by the City of Fort Worth, the project team will reveal major components of the plan, highlighting key areas that have garnered support based on both data and community input, not to mention the proposed action strategies and infrastructure upgrades that community and technical experts shape, these recommendations are set to be prioritized based on need, the intention is to follow through with a citywide implementation that will see Fort Worth embrace a safe transport future. Scheduled for next week, residents can attend either an in-person session on April 9 at the Hazel Harvey Peace Center or a virtual one on April 10 – making it easier for more folks to get engaged with the plan's roll-out.
The official announcement also delves into the expansive vision that the M1M Plan holds for 2050: a transportation system that is not only safe and reliable but also resilient, world-class, and well-funded. This system would ultimately provide the denizens of Fort Worth with a plethora of viable transport options while enhancing the city's economic vibrancy, inter-community connections, and overall quality of life with a clear focus on equitable access.
