The Rail-Oriented Development: Strategies and Tools to Support Passenger Rail Handbook is the final work product associated with the Land Use and Transportation System Components to Support Passenger Rail Study. This nine-month Study, conducted by Charlier Associates of Boulder and guided by a steering committee appointed by CDOT, was initiated in an effort to research and define the land uses, land development patterns and transportation system characteristics that support passenger rail systems. The findings of the Study are presented in the Handbook, which has been designed to provide practical answers to questions regarding how to plan for passenger rail. The Handbook lists factors to be considered when developing a community's policies regarding land use decisions that support rail. The Handbook is based on extensive research into the land use/rail transit relationship, and on an evaluation of existing rail transit systems and their urban environments in North America. The Handbook is not meant to advocate rail transit,per se,but rather to describe the land development patterns that would be required to support rail transit in Colorado. The Handbook describes the land development patterns required to support rayl transit systems, covering such issues as density, land use mix,travel shed size, CBD size,parking and supporting transportation systems. I am enclosing an executive summary of the Study. Hard copies of the entire Study are not being made available because of the cost of color reproduction and because CDOT is encouraging interested parties to view the Handbook interactively on the Web. The Web application is a user-friendly document that provides multiple links that enable the user to quickly and easily move around the Handbook based on one's particular areas of interest. The Web location is www.dot.state.co.us/communications/publications/researchreports.htm and is listed under both"land use" and"rail"in a .pdf format. If you wish to have an electronic copy of the study but cannot download it from the web site,you may request a copy of the disc. To do so,please send a mailing label to me at the address on the letterhead above. Please be aware that the supply will be very limited, since it is our intent for interested parties to access the report on the web site. For more information about the study,you may call me at 303-757-9768, or email me at tom.mauser@dot.state.co.us.
