• Abstract:
  This study focuses on transit-oriented development at rail transit stations in Los Angeles. It reviews the development of rail transit and land use in Los Angeles and looks at four specific station sites to see what is contributing to or hindering transit-oriented development at these sites. Recommendations are made for what could be changed through the planning realm to achieve more effective use of rail transit and better transit-oriented developments, and the author comments on the claims of the high expense and low ridership associated with rail transit in Los Angeles. /Abstract from Executive Summary/
