Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This is the executive summary of the handbook which presents the results of the Land Use and Transportation System Components to Support Passenger Rail Study, sponsored by the Colorado Department of Transportation in 2001. This nine-month study was initiated in an effort to research and define the land uses, land development patterns and transportation system characteristics that would support a statewide passenger rail system in Colorado. The handbook provides practical answers to questions regarding how to plan for passenger rail. The handbook is based on extensive research into the land use/rail transit relationship, and on an evaluation of existing North American rail transit systems and their urban environments.
