Across the country, communities are becoming actively involved in enhancing the connections between transit and local quality of life. This is being accomplished by locating development near transit stops and stations so that walking to and from these facilities requires little effort. Better connections between different modes of transportation are making it easier to transfer from one transportation mode to another.

This booklet presents some fo the successes – in terms of planning, development, and implementation – of the community-sensitive transportation facility development process. By applying the techniques outlined in this booklet, transportation agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, local governments, and communities can help achieve transportation goals beyond "asphalt, concrete, and steel."
