Abstract

Part III of this report offers guidance to communities on patterns of development that encourage alternatives to the automobile for work and nonwork travel. It summarizes the key relationships between transit and urban form, outlines the role of transit in regional and corridor planning, and discusses the principles and tools for station-area planning and development. Part IV of this report uses case studies to determine the public policies and institutions necessary for transit-supportive development to occur. The case studies include three cities with rail systems and three with high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes or exclusive busways. The six case study cities are Houston, Texas; Washington D.C.; Portland, Oregon; Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada; Ottawa-Carleton, Ontario, Canada; and Curitiba, Brazil.
