Mobility 2050: Draft Plan Recommendations and Transportation Conformity Analysis

NCTCOG staff is nearing the completion of Mobility 2050 development and will provide an overview of the draft plan materials currently available at www.nctcog.org/PlanInProgress. Additionally, the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires MPOs to perform an air quality analysis when a MTP is developed. Staff will present an update on the analysis for Mobility 2050.

Fort Worth 76104 Transit Needs Assessment: Initial Study Recommendations
The 76104 Fort Worth Transit Needs Assessment is designed to identify innovative transit solutions to increase mobility and access to food, healthcare, housing and jobs in a part of Fort Worth identified as an area of persistent poverty. Staff will provide an update on feedback from the public and local stakeholders, drafted recommendations from the initial assessment and additional project activities.

Regional Bicycle Safety Action Plan
NCTCOG is developing a Regional Bicycle Safety Action Plan to analyze crash patterns, identify challenges to safe bicycling and develop countermeasures in areas with a high number of bicycle crashes. A public opinion survey is currently underway through the month of June to solicit public input on regional bicycle safety. Bicyclists of all ages and abilities are encouraged to take the survey at www.publicinput.com/bikesafety.

Strategic Selection of Safety Corridors
The RTC approved a $54 million Management, Operations, Air Quality and Safety Program aimed at funding initiatives intended to make the transportation system safer for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians.  One project funded as part of this program is a partnership with enforcement agencies to combat aggressive driving and road rage.  NCTCOG staff will present an overview of this program and discuss data that will identify corridors as well as the process to partner with law enforcement agencies.
