The latest installment in the “Traveler Response Handbook” Series from the Transit
Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) – Report 95, Chapter 17 – Transit-Oriented
Development is the culmination of several years work. Mr. Evans has spoken widely about
this latest publication and its content, including at conferences and meetings in
Atlantic City, New Jersey; Austin, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; Denver, Colorado;
Frederick, Maryland;
Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Toronto, Canada; and Washington, D.C.
There is often a temptation when developing decision support tools to dispense with planning them and dive directly into creating a tool and performing analysis. The big problem comes when the tool is unveiled and it fails to meet expectations. Worse, along the way, there is the added challenge of being unable to leverage an implementation team to produce the desired result (because the desired result is ill- or un-defined) and therefore drag out the development time. There is a better way: following the "Six Steps for Successful Solutions" every time.
