Study Notes
Autonomous Vehicles Impact on TOD
- Autonomous vehicles can potentially increase TOD effectiveness by:
- Reducing parking demand
- Encouraging higher density
- Expanding service areas
Vital Policy Change for TOD
- Policy change: Zoning regulations need to be modernized to accommodate the evolving needs of TOD for successful implementations.
Importance of Community Engagement in TOD
- Community Engagement: Engaging the community is crucial to ensure that TOD projects align with local needs and values.
Future TOD Strategies Focus Areas
- Not a focus area: Implementing standardized building designs across all TOD projects.
Effective TOD Outcomes Approach
- Best approach: Collaborative efforts between government agencies, developers, and community members are essential for achieving effective TOD outcomes.
'Assess' Step Goal in TOD
- Goal: The 'Assess' step aims to analyze existing conditions and identify opportunities for TOD development.
'Enable' Step Challenges
- Not a challenge: Implementing community-driven design principles.
'Enable' Step Key Function
- Function: The 'Enable' stage facilitates the creation of an environment conducive to TOD development by addressing regulatory and policy barriers.
Integration of Transportation and Land Use
- Phase: The 'Plan + Design' phase of TOD is where the integration of transportation and land use is established.
Community Engagement Aims in 'Enable' Phase
- Aims: To build consensus around TOD goals and strategies, making sure local needs are incorporated into the planning process.
Emphasis in 'Plan + Design' Phase
- Emphasis: Emphasis is placed on creating a walkable, transit-oriented urban environment focused on pedestrian and public transportation access.
'Enable' Phase Facilitation of Implementation
- Facilitation: The 'Enable' phase streamlines development by identifying and removing obstacles hindering TOD implementation.
'Assess' Stage Primary Focus
- Focus: The 'Assess' stage analyzes existing conditions, including transportation infrastructure, land use patterns, and community needs.
