Abstract:

“Transit-oriented development” refers to dense, mixed-use development near transit facilities, ; particularly denser housing development. Achieving such density is a politically difficult goal. In New ; Jersey, the main barriers are community concerns about the potential of new development to cause ; parking problems, increased traffic, and negative fiscal impacts because of increased school ; enrollments. This report provides evidence comparing the auto use, auto ownership, parking use, ; and school enrollment of residents of new housing near rail stations with those of households living ; in older housing near rail stations as well as households living farther away in both old and new ; housing. Data collection consisted of structured interviews; a field audit of parking supply and ; occupancy; and, a survey of households. Residents of new housing constructed close to a rail ; station have fewer children than households residing in new housing more than a half mile from ; stations, or households in older housing regardless of location. Auto ownership and auto commuting ; are correlated much more strongly with housing type and tenure, with on-street parking availability, ; and with the larger geographical context than with rail station access.
