THE IMPLICATIONS OF BART'S LAND USE AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED

The report examines the land use and urban development impacts that the 71 mile Bay Area Rapid Transit System has had to date on the transportation disadvantaged. Three special population groups are the focus of analysis -- ethnic minorities, the elderly and handicapped. These groups are of special concern for transportation planning and policy because of either low-income status or mobility related impairments. Findings are reported from the investigation of six issues related to BART's impacts for the transportation disadvantaged in terms of population distribution effects, residential location decisions, and station area neighborhood level impacts. Evaluation of these findings is made in the context of the level, nature, and degree of equity in the incidence of BART's economic impacts. Based on the findings of the study, the land use implications for the transportation disadvantaged of a regional rapid rail transit investment are presented in terms of policy considerations for other areas in which similar systems may be considered.
