• Abstract:
  The term transit-oriented development (TOD) is being used increasingly in transit literature, particularly in studies related to ; planning and design of urban rail transit. TOD relates to the integration of diverse (but desirable) land uses with transit, both ; temporally and spatially, and is designed to increase transit ridership and promote desirable land uses surrounding station areas. ; Currently, there are a number of transit initiatives in the Metro Detroit region that, if implemented, may significantly change the ; transportation map of the southeast Michigan area. ; The purpose of this study is to examine the TOD characteristics of four peer cities and the Metro Detroit area and provide ; recommendations to help the Metro Detroit region implement successful TOD. The project team visited Atlanta, Denver, Cleveland ; and St. Louis to gain firsthand knowledge of their transit systems and TOD activities. The project team then developed a set of ; measures to integrate TOD into the planning and design of transportation facilities in the Detroit area. The goal of this study is to ; help maximize economic growth potential while improving the quality of life for local communities and users of Detroit-area transit. ; This study also identifies planning, economic, and institutional mechanisms for the effective implementation of TOD.
