Downtown Fort Worth is an exciting place that is quickly becoming a 24/7 destination for a number of people. DeShazo, Tang & Associates has been involved in a number of projects in Downtown Fort Worth during the past fifteen years, including several parking studies in the vicinity of Sundance Square, a study for the Tarantula train, and a public transportation plan for the North Central Council of Governments in Downtown Fort Worth. DT&A evaluated the bus system in Downtown Fort Worth and transit activities that occurred there. It was found that the primary activity in the CBD was transfers, not trips to the CBD as a destination. A north and south transfer center configuration was compared to only using Fort Worth's Intermodal Transportation center in the south end of the CBD as a transfer location. By using only one transfer center the large majority of transferring passengers would have shorter travel times and more comfortable facilities. Interfacing with AMTRAK, Railtran commuter rail, Texas TGV high speed rail and intercity bus service is encouraged by using the Intermodal Transportation Center.

A vintage trolley along Main Street between the Tarrant County Courthouse and the Intermodal Transfer Center was recommended to serve CBD passengers. A transit/pedestrian mall on the north end of downtown would connect workers with retail/restaurant areas and parking facilities on which shuttles would run. A tourist-oriented bus and route were proposed to connect the zoo, cultural district and stockyards with major hotels and the Intermodal Transfer Center in the CBD.
