City of Dallas, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART). Dallas has about 45 miles of rail system with a fleet of 115 vehicles and 35 stops operational in Dallas as of November 2004. The successful operation of DART light rail system resulted in about $3.3 billion of development around rail estimated as of 2005 with the local tax revenue from TOD estimated at $78,002,000 as of 2007.
click here Examples of success include Mockingbird station (which established itself as Dallas’ first true transit village), Pearl Station, and St. Paul Station. As part of the city’s comprehensive plan for the future (the Forward Dallas plan), the city of Dallas plans to facilitate TOD pilot projects along with more stations. Richardson TOD – “The City of Richardson published a "Frequently Asked Questions" column in its Richardson Today newspaper explaining the concept of transit-oriented development and the impending opening of Richardson's four DART light rail stations.”
City of Austin – “On July 29, 2004 the Council approved a resolution directing staff to begin the process of developing Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) regulations. The Council resolution also established an Advisory Committee consisting of representatives from the Design, Planning, Urban Transportation and Zoning and Platting Commissions as well as private stakeholders.”

“Transit-oriented development (TOD) is compact, mixed use development near new or existing public transportation infrastructure that serves housing, transportation and neighborhood goals. Its pedestrian-oriented design encourages residents and workers to drive their cars less and ride mass transit more. Some TOD projects are a significant source of non-farebox revenue for the participating transit agency. This Resource Guide from APTA comprises a collection of internet-based documents that provide background resources and tools on TOD as well as examples of successful TOD in U.S. urban communities. click here
