Abstract

Planning and implementation of transit-oriented development (TOD) projects typically involve the confluence of many government entities, state departments of transportation, transit agencies, municipal boards, and local legislatured. Although there are more than 100 TOD projects throughout the United States (U.S.), only New Jersey and Pennsylvania have programs designed to specifically promote them. The New Jersey Department of Transportation and New Jersey Transit developed a program known as the Transit Village Initiativ, which recognizes communities that have demonstrated a commitment to revitalize and redevelop the areaaround its transit facility into a compact mixed use neighborhood with a strong residential component. Pennsylvania'd TRID Act, while similar to NJ's Transit Village Initiative, is a broader, more comprehensive piece of legislation that promotes government interaction with the private sector, including public/private joint development
