A session on integrating transportation projects with mixed-use real estate development to create vibrant, transit-oriented communities. Leaders from transit agencies, city planning, and private development will discuss how joint development agreements and partnerships can fund infrastructure while spurring housing and economic development. The panel will explore strategies like teaming with private developers to build housing, offices, or retail as part of new transit stations or rail extensions. By leveraging the value created by improved transit access, agencies can offset project costs and ensure ridership. Attendees will learn about structuring win-win TOD deals, addressing zoning and community concerns, and ensuring these projects advance equity (e.g. including affordable housing). This session offers a blueprint for breaking down silos between transportation and land use through creative partnerships that maximize public benefits around transit hubs.
