Making the most of transit oriented development opportunities

Many local governments in Australia and elsewhere are investigating alternatives to car-based lifestyles and are pursuing a number of measures to boost trips by walking, cycling and high-occupancy bus and rail passenger transit. Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is one of the potential measures which, if successfully implemented, might lead to a more sustainable mode share between public transit and the private vehicle. The following working definition of TOD is proposed for this discussion: a vibrant, relatively dense and pedestrianised mixed-use development precinct, featuring quality public space and immediate access to high-frequency public transit. This paper will investigate some of the criteria for successful TOD precincts and propose a project-oriented approach to moving TOD from theory to delivery. For the purpose of this paper, the focus will be on the transit sector as leading stakeholders. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E214666.
