CATALOG OF TRANSIT STATION IMPACT CASE STUDIES

This research considered the design of a public transportation terminal from the perspective of its effect on neighborhoods, urban revitalization, traffic congestion and parking. The effects of terminal facilities on the surrounding environment and the changes that take place when a new or renovated facility is constructed in an area were examined. The results reported are presented as the Catalog of Transit Station Impact Case Studies. This listing is an information cource of reference, as well as a state-of-the-art review of the impact of public transportation terminals on land use and community development. No formal methodology has been documented that provides the passenger terminal planner, the policy maker or the public with a conceptual overview of the elements involved in assessment of transportation terminal impacts. There should be an increased understanding of the complex terminal/land-use interface issues. The catalog should aid in development of organized transit station impact assessment procedures.
