Transit-Oriented Development: Station Planning in ST3 & 2019 Workplan Citizens Oversight Panel | May 2, 2019
TOD Overview
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) TOD promotes ridership by integrating land use and transit. TOD strategies target urban growth around transit facilities and leverage transit investments to help produce regional and local benefits. Spring District, Developer rendering 3
TOD at Sound Transit “Community TOD” Coordinate with and support planning and development activities within ½ mile of station areas. “Agency TOD” Engage private, public, and non-profit partners in redevelopment of surplus Agency property or joint development with transit facilities. 4
Evolution of TOD Thinking 2000-2012 2012-2015 2016-Present First strides in TOD TOD matures New role for TOD First light rail segment designed & 2012 Board Policy developed to New RCW language constructed; TOD projects guide Agency’s role in TOD; TOD (81.112.350) and initiated after or during project thinking advanced earlier in ST3 plan create robust delivery project development mandate and funding for TOD • Korean Women’s Association • Offerings at Mount Baker • TOD strategies embedded Project in Federal Way (Artspace), Othello (Mercy), in project development • Capitol Hill station planning Capitol Hill (Gerding Edlen) • Equitable TOD Policy and Urban Design Framework • Planning for Kent-Des Moines updated in April 2018 5

The Vision: Integrated Stations Transit Land Use Integration and TOD Station Access 11
Transit Integration Collaborate with peer transit agencies to align future service network and optimize transfers Identify transfer and integration typologies Align facility capital development programs 12 12
Station Access Facilitate access by all modes, with focus on walk, bike, and transit, in siting and planning stations Invest in access improvements in immediate vicinity of station Leverage third party plans and funding to enhance access infrastructure in larger travel shed 13
Land Use and TOD Evaluate development potential and propensity when considering alignments and station locations Optimize station footprints for good urban design and development outcomes after construction Partner with jurisdictions, housing funders and developers to achieve equitable and sustainable growth in station areas 14
