随着大城市寻求扩大其交通系统，以适应日益增长的出行需求，提供替代日益增长的道路交通拥堵，并提高可达性，更多的研究关注的是土地利用的影响，最显着的形式，以公交为导向的发展（TOD）。美国的许多城市正在启动或扩大轨道交通系统，其目标包括在公交车站附近和沿着公交走廊更集中地发展经济。丹佛，科罗拉多是一个城市，正在积极扩大其轨道交通系统，并鼓励高密度，混合用途的发展，在车站地区。本研究分析了来自丹佛地区交通区和丹佛地区政府理事会的TOD数据，这些数据针对当前和拟建轨道交通车站周围0.5英里的区域。早期的证据表明，丹佛市以公共交通为导向的开发范围相当大，从1997年到2010年，在现有或计划中的公共交通站半英里范围内，有近18，000个住宅单元，530万平方英尺的零售空间，540万平方英尺的办公空间和620万平方英尺的医疗空间。作为区域土地利用和交通规划的关键要素之一，轨道交通系统和对以交通为导向的发展的重视有助于丹佛城市化地区平均密度的增加。
As large cities seek to expand their transit systems to accommodate increasing travel demand, provide alternatives to growing road traffic congestion, and improve accessibility, more research attention has been focused on the land use effects of transit, most notably in the form of transit-oriented development (TOD). Many cities in the USA are starting or expanding rail transit systems with objectives that include more focused economic development near transit stations and along transit corridors. Denver, Colorado is one of the cities that is aggressively expanding its rail transit system and encouraging high-density, mixed-use development in the station areas. This study analyzes TOD data from the Denver Regional Transportation District and the Denver Regional Council of Governments for 0.5-mile areas around current and proposed rail transit stations. Early evidence indicates that the scope of transit-oriented development in Denver is considerable, resulting in nearly 18,000 residential dwelling units, 5.3 million square feet of retail space, 5.4 million square feet of office space, and 6.2 million square feet of medical space within one-half mile of existing or planned transit stations from 1997 to 2010. As one of the critical elements of the regional land use and transportation plan, the rail transit system and the emphasis on transit-oriented development is contributing to an increase in the average density of the Denver urbanized area.
