11 - Multivariate Analysis Of The Relationship Between Transit Accessibility And Residential Location Choice

The importance of commuter rail as a transit mode has increased with the expansion of services to new metropolitan areas, such as San Diego, Los Angeles, South Florida, Dallas, and Washington, D.C., and with the expansion of existing services in areas of New York, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco. This expansion of services can have economic impacts in the communities served by rail stations. Some of the economic impacts of a commuter rail service have been studied. The overall impact of a commuter rail station in single-family residential property values located near of the station can range up to an increase of 6.7 percent (Armstrong, 1996).
