Transit-Oriented Development in the Greater Richmond, Virginia Region: A Client-Based Masters Project with GRTC Transit System
Abstract
Transit-oriented development (TOD) has been widely cited as a means of curbing emissions,
increasing mobility and fostering sustainable economic growth. In difficult economic
times, the need for creative and cost-effective methods of achieving these ends is
even more pertinent. This two-part report aims first to inform policy-makers, planners,
developers and all concerned citizens of the economic opportunities and broader benefits
inherent in TOD. Secondly, it will provide an organization-wide TOD strategy for the
GRTC Transit System (GRTC) as well as an assessment of the potential for Bus Rapid
Transit (BRT) and TOD along the Midlothian Turnpike Corridor. This report thus aims
to serve as both a comprehensive reference guide for TOD as well as a practical deliverable
for GRTC and the Greater Richmond Region.
