Abstract
A group of five transportation professionals from state departments of transportation in California, Connecticut, Michigan, Mississippi, and Washington set out to explore best practices for addressing the access and parking needs of nonresident users of rail and intermodal transportation stations in transit-oriented developments (TODs). A desk scan was conducted during the summer of 2012 to discover the range of practices for providing access and parking in TODs and to identify those locations that had successfully resolved tensions that arise among residents of the TODs, residents of the surrounding neighborhoods, and the people who need to access transit within the TOD. From that initial scan, the team selected San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Boston to delve into the experiences of transit and planning agencies in creating TOD communities and resolving access issues. The team invited the Denver Regional Transportation District to join the group in San Francisco to share insights from its TOD pilot project. The team sought input from federal, state, and local practitioners at each of the locations.
