City Council adopts Master Transportation Plan

City Council adopts Master Transportation Plan

Published on June 10, 2026

The Fort Worth City Council unanimously adopted the Master Transportation Plan (MTP) into the Comprehensive Plan on Tuesday. Local agencies, such as Tarrant County and Trinity Metro, joined local community groups at the council meeting to express their support and confirm their collaboration in developing the plan.

Along with adopting the plan, Council also adopted amendments to the City Code to align with the MTP and updated the Access Management Policy. The MTP aligns the City's transportation plans and policies into a single unified document and serves as the guide for the capital program.

The plan, developed by the City's Transportation & Public Works Department (TPW), will inform future transportation investments by prioritizing projects over a four-, 10- and 25-year window for development, funding, design and construction.

The Master Roadway Network (MRN) is a core component of the MTP and replaces the City's previous Master Thoroughfare Plan. The MRN establishes the ultimate roadway network needed to support Fort Worth's long-term growth and development, identifying future alignments, required right-of-way and functional classifications across the system. It also defines the design expectations for each roadway type, including multimodal elements, to provide greater clarity and consistency in how streets are engineered, delivered and maintained.

In accordance with the Local Government Code, notice of the public hearing was published in the Star-Telegram on May 8. The MTP and City Code amendments were recommended for approval by the City Plan Commission on May 14.

Following adoption, TPW will conduct a citywide speed study and advance the first four years of the Transportation Investment Cycle, which aligns with recently approved bond projects. Staff will also pursue regional, state and federal funding partnerships for priority projects. This culminates two years of expert transportation planning, regional coordination, community engagement and data analysis. The MTP is here to bring us to 2050.
