Transit and Transit Oriented Development
An Issue Paper of the APA Hawai'i Chapter
Many planners will find themselves in the position of advising a client – a developer, public agency, or a community group – on how transit could impact them and/or how to take advantage of the opportunity presented by transit. This issue paper, written by the APAHI Ad Hoc Transit Committee, chaired by John Whalen and Cheryl Soon, is intended to be a contextual piece for use by APAHI and its members. It creates a foundation for understanding many of the planning issues along the Honolulu high capacity corridor from Kapolei to the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
