Scoring the TOD zone using a point-based system.

Similar to LEED, needs high data documentation.

Might not be feasible for data starved conditions of developing countries.

Outline Criteria for structuring and evaluating the

performance of TOD

a. Location Efficiency (additional mobility,

improved access to services and high quality

transit)

b. Value Recapture (from not depending on

automobiles: reduced parking/gasoline costs)

c. Livability (improved quality of life)

d. Financial Return (Evaluation should also weigh

the return to public and private investors)

e. Choices (More choices to a greater range of

income and age levels)

f. Efficient Regional Land Use Pattern

Journals

The evaluation and monitoring strategies for the TOD in the developing world must verify the

overarching goals of inclusive, sustainable and equitable design for the project.

Section E

In a pieces vs. whole strategy, how does one evaluate the success of a TOD project?

Does every Principle needs to be defined and set up for evaluation and monitoring as shown below?
