The Transportation and Land Use Connection

The connection between transportation infrastructure and land use

1. USP 181 Public Transportation Paul Curcio August 2023 Class 6: The Transportation and Land Use Connection

2. Agenda L ecture material: Connections New Urbanism and Places New Urbanism Transit Oriented Development Unbundling Parking R eading reflection 5, “ Micro Transit and Trip Matching ” B reak Peter Katz, guest speaker Tammy Harpster, guest speaker Closing Discussion

3. Walker - Chapter 13 From Connections to Networks to Places

4. Walker - Chapter 13 Transit isn’t just about getting from point A to point B; but also about connecting to point C Two Aspects of Point C Timing Environment The Pulse Connection Way of providing fast connections even among services that aren’t very frequent

5. Walker - Chapter 13 The Grid Allows for travel from any place to any other place by a reasonably direct path at a high frequency Entails a set of parallel transit lines, each far enough apart so that everyone can walk to them, and other set of the same lines perpendicular to them

6. Walker - Chapter 13 Two Types of Grid Rectangular Grid pattern of parallel and perpendicular lines, running continuously all the way across a dense area Ideal for large and continuous density with many scattered activity center Spiderweb Grid consisting of lines radiating from the central district with circular lines orbiting it Radiating lines are called radials, while circular lines are called orbitals or crosstowns

7. Walker - Chapter 14 There is no established way to serve transit-unfriendly suburbs with the same quality and cost-effectiveness that’s easily achieved in transit-friendly places Most important decision about transit is the decision about where to locate: “Be on the way!”  Four Assumptions Urban Civilization will continue Transit in the developed world will continue to be expensive to provide Cost-effectiveness will still matter Ridership will still matter Transit’s Geometry Problem

8. How growth is perceived SANDAG’s mapping of population distribution

9. SANDAG Projections (2050) Assumptions: Increase concentration of residential density Increase concentration of job density Most of the added population is  centered around existing developments

10. Where is the growth?

11. Alternative Land Use Concepts

12. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) California’s Department of Transportation definition of TOD : Moderate to high-density development Generally a mix of residential, employment, and shopping opportunities Located within an easy walk to a major transit stop Residents drive less and own fewer vehicles

13. Other definitions: a walk score greater than 70, and a gross housing density greater than 8 units per acre Transit Adjacent Development: low-density, auto-oriented land uses Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)

14. TOD vs. TAD

15. TOD vs. TAD

16. Cost of Free Parking

17. What should we do?

18. USP 181 19 - Integrated?

19. Urban Form & Transport Back to the Future: Redux of a Valiant Effort - 1986 Quality, mobility, prosperity, > clear goals Transit, TDM, Land Guidance > strong tools Bureaucracy, auto centricity and short termism> restraining forces History of the Future: Redux of a Systems Problem - 2020 Globalization, demographics, automation > mindset of problems Congestion, infrastructure, debt > goal displacement Isolationism, minority rule, system lock in > downward A Vision of Resiliency: Redux of AD Hoc Optimization - 2030 Hope not optimism> truth and consequences Experiments not models > cycle time compressed Harnessing exponential change > abundancy mindset USP 181 20

20. Technology and the Economy Each high-tech job creates 2.7 local services jobs Local service jobs pay more with a greater high-tech share In most places the extra pay outweighs higher housing costs USP 181 21

21. Solutions? District-based parking Unbundling parking Encourage short-term parking Deregulating mandatory parking (let developers control the supply of parking) Demand-based, locally-calibrated parking Utilize shared-parking

22. Lessons Parking is very expensive Developers may see transit as inconsequential
