Project Overview
NCTCOG has been awarded federal funding from the Areas of Persistent Poverty program to conduct a Transit Needs Assessment for the 76104 ZIP code in Fort Worth. The 76104 Transit Needs Assessment is designed to identify innovative transit solutions to increase mobility and access for residents to food, healthcare, housing, and jobs in a part of Fort Worth identified as an area of persistent poverty. The planning study will also identify strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to transit.
After gathering input from the public and local stakeholders, NCTCOG is now working on drafting a Transit Needs Assessment Plan for the area. Your help is needed! We are seeking your feedback on the plan and its identified focus areas as a resident, worker, or visitor of the ZIP code. Your input is very important to our project and will be taken into consideration before we publish the final version of the Transit Needs Assessment Plan. Feedback on the recommendations is encouraged and will be accepted through February 21, 2025. Provide your feedback today through the surveys linked above!

Project Details & Drafted Recommendations
According to a 2019 UT Southwestern study, residents of Fort Worth’s 76104 ZIP code had the lowest life expectancy in Texas, with residents averaging just 67 years. This statistic has spurred community leaders and health advocates to address the underlying factors contributing to the area’s health disparities. NCTCOG was awarded funding to identify innovative, affordable transit solutions and create strategies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions while engaging with nonprofit partners and individuals who live in areas of persistent poverty.
NCTCOG staff used information gathered from an online survey and an in-person public meeting to identify potential service gaps and points of interest in the 76104 ZIP code. Many responses fell into four main categories:
NCTCOG staff used information gathered from an online survey and an in-person public meeting to identify potential service gaps and points of interest in the 76104 ZIP code. Many responses fell into four main categories:
- Fares and Affordability: Recommendations related to fares center on continuing efforts to align any future transit fare structure changes with regional standards and practices for affordability.
- Marketing and Awareness: Marketing recommendations highlight ongoing and future outreach efforts that may be used to heighten awareness of transit services offered in the specific project area.
- Safety and Accessibility: Recommendations for safety and accessibility focus on bus stop and sidewalk improvements and how NCTCOG can assist with planning and funding opportunities.
- Operations Improvements: Operational recommendations take transit frequency and on-time performance into consideration, along with recent service changes and improvements.
More information on the drafted recommendations can be found in the November public engagement presentation below. Feedback is encouraged and will be accepted through February 21, 2025. All recommendations are still being developed as more feedback from local stakeholders and the public is received.
