Transit and Development Transit - A Single, Powerful Investment that: Reinforces healthy patterns Revitalizes by-passed properties Redirects new development patterns
P3 - Its Role in TOD The Public Sector Invests in Transit Infrastructure Land Assemblage Plans, Codes, Incentives, and Streamlined Permitting The Private Sector Responds Positively Development Follows the Tracks Development Surrounds the Stations Financial Shortfalls Lead to Cooperative P3 Funding Capital and Operating Costs
P3 - Its Role in TOD Common Private Sector Responses Creating Non-profit Streetcar Corporations Participating in Joint Development Agreements Developing in Tax Increment Finance Districts Forming Special Assessment Districts Creating Business Improvement Districts Providing Sponsorships and Endowments Paying Development Exactions Devising Alternative Delivery Systems
Features of TODs Apply to Multiple Scales System, Corridor, District Focus on Station Areas Are Compact, Walkable with Diverse Use Mix Promote Street and Sidewalk Connectivity Increase Transit Ridership
The Minimum TOD Opportunity ¼ Mile R = 125 Acres Three Neighborhoods ½ Mile R = 500 Acres Twelve Neighborhoods
Why Focus on TODs? at least a quarter of all households looking for housing in the next 20 years 14.6 million households will be looking for housing within ¼ mile of a transit stop...there will be potential to more than double the amount of housing in transit zones.

TOD - A Trend Not a Fad Increasing National Acceptance Improving Access to Capital Changing Development Patterns Enhancing Mobility and Quality of Life
TOD and Real Estate Successful TODs are a Result of Supportive Real Estate Markets Understanding the Financial Deal TOD-Responsive Land Use Plans Public/Private Partnerships Mixture of Incentives
Transit-Influenced Land Uses Multi-Family Office Support Retail Specialty Attractions
Transit and Development Transit Offers a New Form of Access to Development It is Not Just Developing Around a Station Sustainable Development is Compact, Mixed Use and Walkable n All Modes Do Not Create Equal Land Use Results
Commuter Rail Generally Low Land Use Effects - Existing Railroad Lines and Industrial Uses - Station Spacing 5 to 10 Miles - Principally Park and Ride Facilities - Large Parking Areas are Negatives - Frequency and Service Type - Modest Customer Base for Retail Uses - Nominal Residential and Office Uses - Longer-term Development Period
Light Rail High Land Use Effects - Frequency, Type, and Scale of Service is Land Use Supportive - LRT Serves as New Access to Development - Principal Impact Area ¼ (125 Acres) to ½ Mile (500 Acres) Radius - Compact, Walkable Mixed Use Results
Streetcar High to Very High Land Use Effects - Frequency, Type, and Scale of Service is Highly Land Use Supportive - Development Follows the Streetcar Line - Redevelopment Catalyst - Principal Impact Area Three Blocks Each Side of Line - Compact, Walkable Mixed Use Pedestrian-producing Results
You Are Not Alone.
