This report documents a study of the financial and other benefits associated with the joint development or use of public transit facilities in Texas. The study explores the concept of transit-related joint development and identifies the various joint development strategies employed by transit agencies throughout the country. It also provides an assessment of the financial and other benefits of selected existing joint development projects on both a national and state basis. This information was used to develop a series of general planning guidelines for identifying appropriate joint development applications in Texas. The principal tasks conducted in the study included a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, the identification and investigation of national joint development case studies, a survey of Texas transit agencies to assess their joint development experiences, and the development of the general planning guidelines.
