Transit: convenience of location

The principles in "Ten Principles for Successful Development Around Transit" are based on a shift in workplace culture that is increasingly oriented toward convenience of location, in response to time-conscious workers.

What's out: suburban/exurban campus locations; corporate campuses; "kiss and ride"; a location near the chief executive's home; free parking; driving to lunch; errands on the way home; a commuting car; and workplace quality.

What's in: locations close to transit; mixed-use developments; live, work, play and ride; a location convenient for workers; free transit passes; walking to lunch; errands at lunch; fuel-efficient cars provided at transit stations; and a high overall quality of life.
