• Abstract:
  Public transit systems and routes are designed to serve current patterns of development, but implementation of new transit services may induce residents to change travel modes and use transit, rather than autos; this, in turn, alters traffic patterns and how properties near transit lines develop over time. Public transit like bus rapid transit (BRT) or light rail may also require significant, multiyear infrastructure investments. A useful tool to aid such important decisions would predict the impacts of transit investments on land use patterns, based on local data, and assist in choosing designs that support a community’s desired goals.
