abstract="A growing number of cities, transit agencies, and planning departments, having found that simply providing public transit is not enough to get people to use it, are trying to encourage urban residents to reduce their use of cars by creating places to live, work, and shop around transit stations. This article provides an overview of the concept of the so-called transit-oriented developments (TODs) that situate residential units, retail outlets, and commercial space within a quarter-mile of transit stations. The TOD-oriented stations have the potential to provide a variety of benefits to metropolitan areas. The focus here is on trying to assess whether TODs will fulfill their potential.<p />",
