Taming Traffic Through Transit-Oriented Development April 25, 2006
Washington, D.C., District of Columbia
Dennis Leach, Director, Arlington County Transportation Division and Maria Zimmerman, Vice President for Policy, Reconnecting America
When neighbors express concern about new development, it's the impact of traffic and parking that often worries them. However, recent research shows that well-designed transit-oriented development can mean better transportation choices with negligible increases in traffic along with new restaurants, stores, public facilities, and a stronger tax base. The presenters will discuss recent research, community experiences, and development policies that reduce traffic impacts while accommodating new growth near transit.
