TOD and Multi-modal Public Transport

This article considers the role of transit-oriented development (TOD) in genuinely multi-modal public transport systems. In systems of this kind, railway stations are major interchange points with street-based public transport, which is frequently the dominant mode for station access. In such cases, TOD takes advantage of the very high level of accessibility provided by both the rail service and on-street feeder modes, in contrast with walk-on systems, where TOD is seen mainly as a way of expanding the number of walk-on patrons. Examples of both types of system are presented, including details of modal split for station access, and the importance of TOD in generating patronage is considered. The consequences for TOD planning and design are discussed, including trade-offs between park-and-ride patronage and TOD-generated patronage, and between commercial and transport benefits from TOD.
