STUDY OF WORKERS' LOCATION DECISIONS. LAND USE AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. BART IMPACT PROGRAM

BART's effects on workers' location decisions in San Francisco and Oakland are investigated. BART's effect on residential location decisions, as influenced by job location decisions, also are examined. The principal means of investigation is computer analysis of the results of a survey of downtown workers recently changing jobs and a survey of employees working in the BART corridors. The paper concludes with an assessment of the policy implications of this research.
