Fort Worth residents have a critical opportunity to actively shape the future of their city's transportation safety. The M1M Vision Zero Safety Action Plan, part of the City's broader M1M Master Transportation Plan, has been released in draft form and is currently open for public commentary. This pivotal step invites the community to weigh in on proposed measures geared towards reducing and eventually eliminating traffic-related deaths and serious injuries in Fort Worth.
Those looking to scrutinize or support the plan's finer points can now dive into the 34 proposed action strategies and 10 proposed infrastructure projects. This is a chance not only to be heard but to possibly influence policy that will directly impact the safety of citizens. The 30-day comment period will quickly draw to a close, ending on June 10, so time is of the essence for those willing to contribute their perspectives. Feedback can be submitted simply via email, encouraging broad participation from the community.
A date to keep circled on the calendar is November 2025, as this is when Fort Worth must submit its final plan to the Federal Highway Administration as part of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program. According to the City of Fort Worth's announcement, future eligibility for SS4A implementation funds hinges on the adoption of the Vision Zero plan by the City Council. With the gears of bureaucracy in motion, the city's Transportation & Public Works Department prepares to keep the Council briefed on recommended steps forward and an updated Vision Zero resolution.
