Encouraging Public Transportation through Effective Land Use Actions
The report describes the effects of land use decisions on public transportation service, and provides guidelines on designing new development projects to be compatible with public transportation. High development densities, concentrated travel corridors, a growing economy, and strong central areas promote public transportation, while increasing sprawl hinders its effectiveness. The report presents guidelines for population and employment density thresholds that can support local transit service, walking distances to bus stops, describes design features of building site plans that encourage tenants or patrons of a project to use public transportation, and explores how to accommodate transit when planning supporting street networks. Transit supportive land uses include medium to high density residential developments and complexes, office buildings, and high intensity commercial activity. A detailed parking management discussion is also included.
