Objectives

California's urban and commuter rail systems have tremendous potential to develop transit-oriented land use around their urban and suburban rail stations. This web-based database provides convenient access to the body of literature regarding TOD experience throughout California, and incorporates analytical tools that enable a user to search the data and perform analysis.

Database Structure

The database is a hierarchy of tables that contain information on each Transit Oriented Development. At the top of the hierarchy is Station Area information. Associated with each station area is one or more project, one or more process, one or more photo (typically many photos), and one or more contact. Any part of the database can be expanded at any time to include more stations, projects, photos or contacts.

The Flow Chart below describes the relations between the various TOD elements:
