Transit Oriented Los Angeles: Envisioning an Equitable and Thriving Future

This report provides a conceptual framework for thinking about how more people can live and work near transit, near the major regional investments that county residents are paying for, in ways that maximize social benefits and minimize social costs. Because neighborhoods are unique, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and we do not profess to offer one. What we offer instead is a foundation on which informed civic conversations about different neighborhoods and ways to better our region can occur. We hope to demystify density, explain the determinants of transit ridership, and shed some light on how zoning and land use regulation influence both ridership and housing prices.
