Assessing the Potential for Transit-Oriented Development Infill to Reduce Life-Cycle Energy Use and Environmental Impacts: A Case Study of Los Angeles Metro's Gold and Orange Transit Lines
Description
Transit-oriented developments (TODs) are a promising strategy to increase public transit use and, as a result, reduce personal car travel. By using TOD infill to increase urban population density and encourage transportation mode-shifting, the potential exists to reduce life-cycle per capita energy use and environmental impacts of the interdependent infrastructure systems. This project specifically examined the Gold Line of light rail and Orange Line of bus rapid transit in Los Angeles, CA.
