Transit-oriented development (TOD) seeks to maximize access to mass transit and nonmotorized transportation with centrally located rail or bus stations surrounded by relatively high-density commercial and residential development. New Urbanists and smart growth proponents have embraced the concept and interest in TOD is growing, both in the United States and around the world. New Transit Town brings together leading experts in planning, transportation, and sustainable design—including Scott Bernstein, Peter Calthorpe, Jim Daisa, Sharon Feigon, Ellen Greenberg, David Hoyt, Dennis Leach, and Shelley Poticha—to examine the first generation of TOD projects and derive lessons for the next generation. It offers topic chapters that provide detailed discussion of key issues along with case studies that present an in-depth look at specific projects. Topics examined include: the history of projects and the appeal of this form of development a taxonomy of TOD projects appropriate for different contexts and scales the planning, policy and regulatory framework of "successful" projects obstacles to financing and strategies for overcoming those obstacles issues surrounding traffic and parking the roles of all the actors involved and the resources available to them performance measures that can be used to evaluate outcomes Case Studies include Arlington, Virginia (Roslyn-Ballston corridor); Dallas (Mockingbird Station and Addison Circle); historic transit-oriented neighborhoods in Chicago; Atlanta (Lindbergh Center and BellSouth); San Jose (Ohlone-Chynoweth); and San Diego (Barrio Logan). New Transit Town explores the key challenges to transit-oriented development, examines the lessons learned from the first generation of projects, and uses a systematic examination and analysis of a broad spectrum of projects to set standards for the next generation. It is a vital new source of information for anyone interested in urban and regional planning and development, including planners, developers, community groups, transit agency staff, and finance professionals.

Transit Oriented Development: Making it Happen brings together the different stakeholders and disciplines that are involved in the conception and implementation of TOD to provide a comprehensive overview of the realization of this concept in Australia, North America, Asia and Europe. The book identifies the challenges facing TOD and through a series of key international case studies demonstrates ways to overcome and avoid them. The insights gleaned from these encompass policy and regulation, urban design solutions, issues for local governance, the need to work with community and the commercial realities of TOD.

In the United States, transit oriented development (TOD) is now recognized as a critical element in the planning, development, and execution of transit projects. Recent legislation has been designed to streamline the approval processes for new transportation projects, focus more on safety, and establish new programs to advance critical freight projects. The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's TCRP Legal Research Digest 56: Joint Development Agreements Using FTA Funds or FTA-Funded Assets aims to clarify the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) assisted joint development process and attempts to separate public perceptions (and misperceptions) about TOD from reality. It is an update to TCRP Legal Research Digest 12:The Zoning and Real Estate Implications of Transit-Oriented Development. Appendix C incudes sample model agreement forms, developed from Washington Area Transit Authority’s Office of Real Estate and Station Planning Templates.

ABSTRACT: The factors under which transit-oriented development (TOD) projects flourish in the United States are indistinct. Most TOD projects face inimitable challenges, as the developable circumstances vary greatly for each site-specific project. The programs and policies of five highly capitalized TOD projects in this study, serve as a medium for elucidating the planning tools that catalyze TOD. These case studies evaluate an array of qualitative and quantitative variables to determine the physical, political, and sociocultural milieu that both hinders and engenders success. Bus and rail served TOD projects are included in the case studies in order to add an additional layer of comparison. The study is based on the results of sixteen variable components. Some of the variables are examples of performance metrics of TOD such as public transit ridership, density, and multi-family housing stock. Other variables are TOD catalysts such as congestion, daily vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and fuel costs. The study will conduct a thorough analysis of the sixteen indicator variables for five major U.S. urbanized areas: (1) Boston, Massachusetts, (2) Dallas, Texas, (3) Portland, Oregon, (4) San Francisco, California, and (5) Washington, D.C. The analysis product will be a theorized summary of what policies and programs may be more effective in fostering TOD projects based on the measured criteria in regard to each individual case study. The study concludes with the summarized importance of TOD-friendly policies such as urban growth boundaries, joint development partnerships, and coordination of local, regional, and state entities.
