During the Council Workshop on June 5, 2018, staff outlined the needs for a Transit Master Plan
Implementation Study to further assist in developing the City's vision for transit and transportation
investments within the broader context of Tarrant County and the region. The Study will develop priorities
that maximize the return on transit investments, identify land use and capital investment strategies to
support the success of transit, provide advice on funding from potential partner-agencies within the
County, NCTCOG, State and Federal sources, and provide a better understanding of emerging
technology applications and private sector partnering.
Nelson\Nygaard prepared the Trinity Metro Transportation Master Plan that was adopted by Trinity Metro
in 2016. By engaging this firm, the City will be able to expand on the original work to evaluate the
priorities of the City Council. A technical advisory team that includes representatives from Trinity Metro,
Tarrant County, City staff, and various stakeholders has been assembled to guide the work of the
group. This will ensure that the results are informed by the expertise of Trinity Metro and the Tarrant
County Mayor's Council effort while also reflecting the priorities and realistic funding opportunities for the
City of Fort Worth.
