Abstract:This research answers the question: How can a transit agency choose among alternative TOD locations within a transit network? The ultimate objective of the research is to develop a decision support framework which can be used by transit agencies when choosing TOD site by incorporating their unique factors and weights. This research included a comprehensive literature review to get an initial list of factors, interviews to vet those factors, and the use of a multi-criteria decision-making tool entitled Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP) to determine their weights. A list of factors was compiled based on the literature review which was vetted by Transit-Oriented Development experts to create a final list of factors of success. These factors were then sent back to experts for determining their weights using the AHP methodology. The framework was tested in two different transit agencies as case studies, the Regional Transportation District (RTD), Denver and the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA), Aspen.
