After conducting a national transit-oriented development study, non-profit resource center Good Jobs First cited 25 projects that provide increased transit access, good jobs and affordable housing.

The projects include:
• Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority’s Atlantic Station and Lindbergh City Center;

• Bethel Center, located along Chicago Transit Authority’s Green Line;

• the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s EcoVillage;

• the Cherokee-Gates development being built along the Regional Transportation District of Denver’s light-rail line;

• Parson’s Place residential development near St. Louis Metro’s light-rail line;

• the Hollywood & Highland, Hollywood & Vine and NoHo Commons developments served by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority;

• Fruitvale Transit Village served by Bay Area Rapid Transit;

• Portland’s adidas Village, Belmond Dairy, Center Commons and Museum Place developments served by Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon; and

• Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s Minnesota Avenue Metro redevelopment plan.

“These projects fill a gap in the landscape of common transit-oriented development projects by creating tangible benefits for people with limited means,” said study author Sara Grady in a prepared statement.
