This webinar has six elements:

1. Introducing themes related to how transit should affect the location of jobs and people, and how real estate should respond;
2. Creating a research typology of different landscapes served by transit that is also useful in transit planning;
3. Analyzing how transit stations influence shifts in the regional share of jobs, people and housing;
4. Investigating how transit station proximity influences mode choice and household transportation budgets;
5. Estimating the effect of transit station proximity on real estate rents by type of transit system and type of real estate, and the extent to which outcomes are consistent with theory; and
6. Identifying opportunities for transit station planning to unlock the potential to leverage economic benefits of transit to advance social well-being.

Key learning outcomes:

• How transit influences the location of jobs by major land use group to aid in economic development planning.
• How transit influences the relocation of people and households in ways that will surprise planners, and challenge them to redouble efforts to increase housing opportunities near stations for a much larger range of households than is done presently.
• How we can use real estate market rent to know if transit station and land use planning has been effective, and what may be needed to improve outcomes.
• How to know when transit station and land use planning may fail to meet their promises, and what can be done about it.
