Location Efficiency refers to the notion of living and working in close proximity
to oneʼs daily needs so as to minimize travel time and cost. Communities that are trying
to encourage mixed use, transit oriented neighborhoods could benefit substantially by
understanding this concept and taking steps to increase the financial incentive associated
with location efficient development and housing choice.
This report starts by giving a conceptual overview of location efficiency and
outlining key relationships between macro factors that impact its viability. Market based
strategies to increase use of alternative transportation modes and increase location efficient
savings are presented here as a politically viable way to achieve pedestrian oriented smart
growth without public subsidy. Final suggestions for implementation guide the candidate
community through the analysis and application of these concepts / text
