“…Similar results were discussed by Chava et al [15], who found that gentrification or transformation of neighborhood housing and environments based on the concept of TOD attracted more public transport users, especially those living within walkable distance of the metro stations. In addition, Ewing et al [16] found that the vehicle trip generation rate in their comparative study areas was significantly lower at station parks with TOD than at those without TOD.…”

The purpose of this work is to support the transitoriented development (TOD) in Thailand. The main research objective is to explore the relationship between ridership demand and TOD indicators, which is expected to be the first question that a developer in Thailand must be able to answer in order to direct their development plan in the right direction. Using existing Bangkok metro stations as a case study, 22 variables categorized into three groups (density, diversity, and design) were collected for an 800-m buffer area around the stations. Results of the correlation analysis between transit ridership and other variables show a significant relation with the volume of transit ridership. Bus services have a stronger influence on transit ridership than railway stations and ferries (pier). Also, the interchange stations and park-and-ride buildings are found to be the main variables that correlate directly with the transit ridership numbers. Results from the principal component analysis are used to evaluate factors of TOD characteristics for the existing Bangkok metro stations, categorized into seven factor groups.

“…Second, all the studied developments have good prerequisites for sustainable mobility, such as access to public transport, bike paths, central location, and good access to services. Previous research has shown that more transit-oriented development reduces the need for parking [32,33]. The interviewees in [26] point out that the location of Porslinsfabriken makes it easy to access what they need without a car.…”

Parking management and planning can be used to address several issues related to sustainable urban development. For example, parking availability affects both car ownership and usage, and parking planning can affect both land use and building costs. A tool used in several countries is minimum parking requirements (MPR) and lowering these could be a pathway to more sustainable mobility. However, the actual effects of lower MPR have not systematically been studied. In this paper we present the results of a review of sixteen developments with low MPR in Sweden, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and the UK. Existing research and reports have been analyzed to compare these and draw conclusions on the effect of MPR on mobility patterns and mobility services. In addition, interviews were conducted with representatives from municipalities and developers. Our results indicate that the mobility patterns of individuals in the studied projects are more sustainable than in nearby projects. However, the causality of MPR and mobility is hard to establish due to the risk of self-selection and that all of the studied projects have good prerequisites for sustainable mobility practices. Many of the studied evaluations are also of poor quality with, for example, lack of appropriate control group.

“…For instance, a national study of 17 TODs in five U.S. metropolitan areas ( 17 ) indicated that vehicle trip rates per dwelling unit are 44% less than the ITE recommended rates. Similarly, a series of recent studies by Ewing and colleagues focused on trip and parking generation on TODs in seven American cities ( 3, 4, 36 ). They found that, in almost all of the TOD case studies, trip and parking generation is roughly half or less than what has been recommended by ITE.…”

“…They also conclude that the peak parking demand in these TODs could be, on average, as low as a half of the ITE predicted rates. The seven TODs are located in: Seattle, Washington DC, San Francisco, Denver, Los Angeles, and Portland, and one is a TAD (transit-adjacent development) in Salt Lake City ( 3, 4 ). While these TODs are geographically distributed all around the country, they have one feature in common; they are located in regions with successful transit systems and relatively high transit ridership ( 5 ).…”

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) guidelines serve as the most widely used reference for trip and parking generation estimates for any new development in the U.S.A. However, recent empirical studies question the efficacy of ITE guidelines in forecasting trip and parking generation in transit-oriented developments (TODs). Following the methodology of studies on seven TODs across the U.S.A., this study focuses on Dallas (TX), as a more auto-oriented American city, to explore the trip and parking generation at Mockingbird TOD. It finds that, with the exception of Station Park in Salt Lake City (which is really a transit-adjacent development rather than a TOD), the Mockingbird TOD has the lowest walk mode share (13.6%), the lowest bike mode share (0.22%), the lowest bus transit mode share (1.09%), and by far the lowest rail transit mode share (5.9%) of all the other seven TODs. Similarly, the Mockingbird TOD ranks first in relation to the driving mode share, with about 80% of its daily trips generated by driving. This is almost twice as many driving trips as the average of the other six TODs, which makes Mockingbird an auto-oriented TOD located in an auto-oriented region where more than 96% of commuting trips are by automobile. Still, the total automobile trip generation rate in Mockingbird is about 12% lower than the ITE estimates. Similarly, while the parking supply in Mockingbird TOD is less than 48% of the ITE recommended supply rate, its peak parking occupancy is only about 55% of the TOD supply.
