Station area access within transit-oriented development : a typological analysis

Transit joint development (TJD) is a specific component of transit-oriented
development (TOD) characterized most commonly by a collaborative development
relationship between transit agencies and private developers. A spatial evaluation of
public and private properties within TOD station areas offers a valuable and unique
point of view to examine the association between transit agencies, local government
and private developers. The link between transit space including entrances, exits,
lobbies, direct connections, multi-modal integration and immediately adjacent private
property is essential to the success of TOD. This report offers insight and analysis
concerning the spatial interface and access between public and private properties
within the station area from a multimodal standpoint in an effort to evaluate the
conditions that promote optimal pedestrian connectivity in harmony with the presence
of the automobile and other motorized forms of transportation. Within this report a station area spatial interface - access typology is
introduced, which captures the various interfaces between public and private
properties at transit station areas from a multimodal perspective. The Dallas Area
Rapid Transit (DART) rail system was the model for this typology To better
understand the spatial relationship between these principal TOD players, an
evaluation of the factors that affect the physical composition of TOD - TJD station
areas is also conducted. These factors include site limitations and opportunities,
financial arrangements, and land use regulatory policy. / text
