 MTI Report 01-05
Construction of Transit-Based Development.
This project reviews policies and legislative programs
that can be adopted at all levels of government to encourage transit-based
development. The focus of the study is on local government implementation because
cities and counties have the land use responsibility of planning and zoning.
The study also investigates how higher levels of government (regional,
state, and federal) can encourage development through legislative powers and
policy incentives. The study recommends additional land use, legislative, and
fiscal powers that are needed by local jurisdictions so that they can carry
out these incentives.

This project reviews policies and legislative programs
that can be adopted at all levels of government to encourage transit-based development. The study focuses on local
government implementation since it is cities and counties that have the land use responsibility for
planning and zoning. The study also investigates how higher levels of government (state and federal) can encourage
development through legislative and policy incentives. The study recommends some land use, legislative, and
fiscal powers that are needed by local jurisdictions to carry out these incentives. The chapter entitled “Elements
of Success” explains each of the recommendations in detail.
