Abstract:

The report proposes a general methodology for evaluating land use and investment activity with respect to land in the vicinity of surface transit facilities. The three major objectives were: (1) to determine if there are incremental benefits accruing to land near bus, trolley, and by inference light rail facilities; (2) to examine equity issues in potential tax benefit districts serving such facilities; and (3) to examine the potential of joint development with respect to surface transit. An underlying objective was the presentation of an interactive spatial analysis system suited to the small-scale study of transit system impacts and relationship to their environment. Primary focus was directed to exploring locations in the vicinity of multiple routes where levels of commercial and multi-family new investment might be particularly high. The study concludes that the use of special benefit districts would be difficult to operationalize and that joint development opportunities are encouraging.
