A TOD 101 Re-cap
• Compact development with ½
mile of transit
• Mix of uses:
– Housing, jobs, restaurants,
and entertainment
• Benefits:
– Location efficient
– Value for public and private
sector
– Creates a sense of place
and community
– Helps to promote
sustainability
– Boosts transit ridership
The Demand for TOD• Changing demographics
– Singles will soon be the new majority
– Old people will outnumber young people
by mid-century
– Almost half the U.S. population will be
non-white by 2050
– Demographic groups growing most
quickly -- older, non-family, non-white
households—use transit more
• Shifts in consumer preferences to a
more urban lifestyle.

Transit ridership up 38% since 1995
Demand is Increasing…But So Are Prices
• By 2030
– Demand for housing near transit
estimated to grow from 6 million to
15 million households
– More than half of potential
demand for housing near transit
will be from households with
below median incomes
• Land costs near transit are high
• Developers tend to build to the highest end of the market
