Abstract:

This research assesses the impact of new passenger rail stations on changes in land use intensity in Los Angeles County. In the county, employment outside downtown is concentrated in nodes with 3.2 million jobs (about half of all jobs in the metropolitan area). Making use of the employment centers as units of analysis reveals significant growth in both employment and population density around new stations. These results are useful for policy makers interested in assessing the indirect benefits of investment in new stations. The results are also informative for those using the Differences-in-differences approach in urban settings. While the effects of new stations are significant and positive, there is marked heterogeneity across stations, suggesting that more research is needed to understand the link between new stations and subsequent changes in land use.
