The report proposes a general methodology for evaluating land use and investment activity with respect to land in the vicinity of surface transit facilities. The three major objectives were: (1) to determine if there are incremental benefits accruing to land near bus, trolley, and by inference light rail facilities; (2) to examine equity issues in
