• Abstract:
  The Rail-Oriented Development: Strategies and Tools to Support Passenger Rail Handbook (the Handbook) is the final work product associated with the Land Use and Transportation System Components to Support Passenger Rail Study (the Study), sponsored by the Colorado Department of Transportation in 2001. This nine-month Study was initiated in an effort to research and define the land uses, land development patterns and transportation system characteristics that are supportive of passenger rail. The findings of the Study are presented in this Handbook, which has been designed to provide practical answers to questions regarding how to plan for passenger rail. This Handbook lists factors to be considered by local decision makers when developing a community's policies regarding land use decisions that support rail. The Colorado Department of Transportation does not endorse these factors or present them as recommended policies.
