University of California Transportation Center, Working Papers from University of California Transportation Center

Abstract: Public transit can affect the location and intensity of development within a metropolitan region. This ability to steer growth, however, does not necessarily imply improved economic performance for the region as a whole. The construction or expansion of a transit system may cause the redistribution of development within the metropolitan area, without any net increase in regional growth.
