TODPolicies and Planning
In Sacramento
Historical Perspective –Federal FTA Policies
– New Starts Projects must be justified by:– Mobility Improvements – Environmental Benefits – Operating Efficiencies – Cost Effectiveness – Technical capability of the project sponsor – TRANSIT SUPPORTIVE LAND USE AND FUTURE PATTERNS
http://www.fta.dot.gov/transit_data_info/reports_publications/publications/transit_research_publications/15062_ENG_HTML.htm
– Joint Development – On March 14, 1997, FTA issued a revised "Policy on Transit Joint Development." – that real property acquired with Federal grant funds could be used to support a
