Abstract:FTA assessed and rated the Transit Supportive Existing Land Use and Future Patterns of 30 candidate New Starts projects, in preliminary engineering and final design, documented in the FY 1999 New Starts Report. These land use assessments (30) examined a number of factors, including existing land use conditions, regional containment of sprawl, and the effectiveness of local policies to foster transit and pedestrian-friendly development. This report was prepared to share the results and lessons learned from these FY 1999 land use assessments. It is intended to assist local transit agencies in preparing information on transit-supportive land use related to New Starts projects, and to aid federal reviewers in evaluating that information, as well as to promote understanding of the relationship between local land use and transit investments. This report presents an introduction to the assessment process and methodology, a review and synthesis of key findings across all 30 projects, and a summary of recommendations for strengthening local agency submissions of the Transit Supportive Existing Land Use and Future Patterns New Starts criterion. The report consists of 30 individual assessment profiles, i.e.s, a summary assessment of transt-supportive kand use for each of the 30 projects evaluated and rated in the FY 1999 New Starts Report, including a summary of key findings for each project.
