Definition
• “Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is moderate to higher-density development, located within an easy walk of a major transit stop, generally with a mix of residential, employment and shopping opportunities designed for pedestrians without excluding the auto. TOD can be new construction or redevelopment of one or more buildings whose design and orientation facilitate transit use.”Caltrans

TOD is development that:
– Contains a rich mix of uses – retail, residential, workplaces.
– Has appropriate treatment of parking.

Transit Development Plan (TDP)
• Look at:
– Specific requirement to look at goals and policies of the comp plan and LRTP.
– Public Involvement
– Adopted by Governing bodies (county commission)
– 10 year needs plan
– Financially feasible to 3 years

Calculating the Costs
– Roadway improvement can be isolated to the “significantly” impacted area
– Transit costs can’t be limited to one hour a day and .74 miles

Transit Prop Share

Change in Peak Hour Max Service VolumeCost = Proportionate Share
GR

Proposed Methodology – Project Trips
Number of Project Trips
Change in Peak Hour Max Service VolumeCost = Proportionate Share
10 project trips = 10 needed seats/passengers on a bus

Proposed Methodology – Change in Max Service Volume
• Fundamental Assumption: Providing capacity on transit satisfies identified roadway capacity issue– Does not address issue of use/ridership of service
Number of Project Trips
Change in Peak Hour Max Service VolumeCost = Proportionate Share
Typical value of 40 seats per bus

Proposed Methodology - Cost
– 3 years when TQOS A or B,
– 5 years when TQOS C or D,
– 7 years E or F or new service
– Capital Investments
– Technology Implementation
– Operating and maintenance

Small Development• Agency agreement that no roadway capacity projects are planned or could
reasonably be constructed
• Existing transit service on Main Street = LOS B– 10 minute headways, 6 buses per hour
• Cost per operating hour = $75
• Length of existing bus route = 10 miles (20 miles round trip)
