VALUE The price of land before development is less than what it is after development of and investment in transport infrastructure Value capture is the identification and capture of land values resulting from public investments in infrastructure Start of development Potential value to capture Increase in value after development Value prior to development TIME 22
TOD Improved Quality of Life Improved mobility Increased transit ridership Reduced traffic congestion and driving Fewer car accidents and injuries Increase in Housing Demand Increase in Demand for Office and Commercial Space Increase in Property Values Less spending on transportation, resulting in more affordable housing Healthier lifestyle, more walking, and less stress Increased foot traffic and customers for area businesses Reduced pollution and environmental destruction Less urban sprawl, increased incentive for compact development 24

TOD» Is a process, NOT a project» Takes time to realise» Is about development and value creation, and NOT just about financing a gap in project funding Value capture mechanisms offer an avenue to finance a development process that would otherwise not be possible Involvement of stakeholders is essential to success Requires a systems approach to develop an integrated solution 38
