Introduction to Transit-Oriented Development
2020Transit-oriented development has quickly become a popular concept: it is a complex process and strategy that can contribute to more sustainable transportation patterns, decreased emissions, and enhanced regional connectivity. A significant percentage of households would like to live in high-density housing near transit.

Transit oriented sustainable urban developments
Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Austalasia and South East Asia - GRAPHITE '03, 2003This paper will present a project in progress on the use of computer graphics to enhance the communication of an emerging Urban Design concept -- Transit Oriented Sustainable Urban Design (TOSUD). Two detailed virtual environments have been created relating to hypothetical TOSUD developments within an Australian and Chinese context.

Transit-Oriented Development [PDF]
This project reviews and summarizes empirical evidence for a selection of transportation and land use policies, infrastructure investments, demand management programs, and pricing policies for reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Although urban development around transit stations doesn’t lead to a direct financial contribution for the Transit Agency (or other infrastructure or planning body) it is “absolutely essential” to the long term viability of the transit investment (SKMG 1996, p. 4). The transit accessible area around the stations is generally far larger than the Transit

From transit-adjacent to transit-oriented development
Local Environment, 2008Downtown Berkeley, Hayward, and Fremont are three Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations with different surrounding built environments. Berkeley is located in a downtown setting, whereas Hayward and Fremont are located in the suburbs. Fremont is the most auto-dominated, whereas Hayward is a hybrid between being a transit-oriented and transit-adjacent ...

Transit Oriented Development in Disruptive Times
The International Conference on Civil Infrastructure and Construction, 2023This talk focuses on the future of transit oriented development (TOD), arguably one of the most sustainable forms of urbanization, in light of mobility disruptors, such as pandemics, automated and electro-mobility, shared economies, mobility as a service, and megatrends (e.g., aging societies; non-nuclear families; remote work).

Transit Oriented Development and India
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012The concept of TOD is essentially as an exaggerated form of Travel Demand Management technique, it ensures maximum use of mass transit at the same time reducing the trip length outside the long haul system. It is to minimize the traffic impacts of the new transit infrastructure by providing trip end land uses.

Policy challenges for transit-oriented development
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Urban Design and Planning, 2014Australasian cities are highly car dependent as a result of historical development patterns. Given peak oil and climate change challenges, these patterns are clearly not sustainable. Transit-oriented development presents an alternative urban development paradigm.

Hackensack transit oriented development report
2013This report documents a community-based vision to bring transit oriented development to Hackensack. The project focuses on the areas surrounding Hackensack’s two NJ TRANSIT rail stations and its Bus Terminal. Future development around each is anticipated to help anchor the city’s retail core, complementing Hackensack’s recently adopted Rehabilitation ...

Chinese Edition of Transit-Oriented Development
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2007Transit-oriented development (TOD) is a strategy to integrate transit and land use by focusing development around a transit station. Its principles are gaining increasing popularity worldwide in the global effort toward sustainable transportation. This paper attempts to answer two questions: Why do Chinese cities need TOD?
