DISCUSSION
The City Council of Fort Worth has established the improvement of Mobility and Air Quality as one of the
City's strategic goals. To accomplish this goal the City and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority are
developing a Mobility and Air Quality Plan (MAQ) that seeks to integrate transportation systems, improve air
quality and increase economic growth for Fort Worth and the region
The Fort Worth Transportation Authority has agreed to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the City to
assist in funding Phase II of the Mobility and Air Quality Plan The funding provided by the Fort Worth
Transportation Authority is $65 000 00 The MAQ Plan is being conducted in three phases. Phase I of the
Plan Transportation Gap Analysis Study was competed in June 2004 The study findings concluded that
the population within the study area will increase by 94% to 2.9 million people by 2030 most of which will

locate outside of Loop 820 in single family residential developments. An estimated 895 000 jobs will be
added in the study area and 71 % of the population will live outside the current Fort Worth Transportation
Authority service area. The study conclusions indicate that even with all the planned roadway improvements
identified in the region s Mobility 2025 Plan, 40% of the freeways and 42% of the local arterial roadways will
be severely congested by 2030 Developing a planned and programmed strategy to address congestion
and other mobility issues is needed to ensure the effective and efficient movement of people and goods.
Simply providing additional roadway capacity will not meet the City and the region's transportation needs
and air quality goals. More transportation options are needed.
Phase 11 of the MAQ Plan will identify analyze, and recommend transportation alternatives and programs
for improving mobility and air quality for the City of Fort Worth and the region. The overall work program will
include the following tasks:
Development of a project management plan
Development of a public involvement plan
Development of MAQ Plan guiding principles and policies;
Development and Analysis of Transportation Alternatives and Programs;
Recommendations for preferred alternatives and programs, and
Development of estimated costs and prioritization of projects.
Phase III of the Plan will follow and will include Strategic implementation plan, including funding strategies
and recommendations.
The final product will be a comprehensive transportation system plan for the City of Fort Worth that provides
transportation choices for residents, employees, visitors and firms doing business in Fort Worth

Phase I{ study because of its professional qualifications and its work involving transportation alternatives
analysis, land use and economic impact analysis.

(CO's) for several unfunded and/or underfunded projects. Funding in the amount of $2 780 000 00 was
included as 10% match to leverage Federal Aviation Administration funding to reconstruct Meacham
Runway 16/34 however the FAA has determined that the scope of the runway improvements is
significantly less and city participation will only require $1 429 994 00 This material project change results
in unused funds of $1 350 006 00
Generally when a CO sale occurs, several specific or general capital projects are referenced in the Notice
of Intent to Issue Project costs are estimates and as a result, if there are any unused funds from a project,
the Attorney General's Office allows for funds from one project to be applied to any of the other projects
referenced in that particular sale. Eligible projects from this sale included street and park projects
throughout the City of Fort Worth. Previously these funds have been appropriated in the Meacham
Runway 16/34 Project in the Aviation Improvements Fund therefore, staff recommends Council authorize
the transfer of these funds to the Street Improvements Fund to be utilized for unfunded and underfunded
street improvement projects in the total amount of $1 350 006 00 as fol{ows
