Land use impacts of rapid transit: implications of recent experience

Abstract

This report reviews evidence of land-use impacts of recent major rapid-transit improvements and draws conclusions concerning the extent and nature of such impacts and the conditions under which they have occurred. Transit improvements studied are primarily post-World War II in origin. American and Canadian examples are stressed, although European experience is treated briefly. Virtually all major modern American and Canadian rapid-transit improvements are included, covering conventional rapid rail, commuter rail, light rail, and bus/busway. In addition to conclusions on general patterns of land-use impact causes, research recommendations and Federal policy implications are drawn.
