MDOT Uniquely Situated
• MDOT includes all transportation modes:
– MTA and SHA property
– Coordination of modal effort
• MDOT has its own funding sources
• MDOT has significant staff and consulting resources
• In 2007, MDOT needed a legal framework for TOD
Maryland TOD Law of 2008
The TOD Law:
• Defines TOD
• Makes TOD an MDOT transportation purpose
• Creates TOD process
– Joint Designation by MDOT and local government

Maryland TOD Law of 2009
The 2009 TOD law expands local government authority at TODs:
• MEDCO can issue TIF bonds
• Special Assessment Districts can fund non-county assets
• SAD’s can fund operations and maintenance
• Any local tax can fund a TIF Bond

Maryland Sustainable Communities
Act of 2010
• Streamlines smart growth efforts
• Extends Historic Tax Credits
• Makes TOD’s eligible for historic tax credits
10
TOD Executive Order 2009
Location priority for new State facilities to be:
• ½ mile of a transit station
• Designated a TOD
Designation Process
• Designation Criteria:
– Good TOD
– Defined State role or other need for Designation
• Local government nominates projects
• State and local government joint designation

MDOT
TOD Projects
• No set formula for TOD
• Legal, Business, and Political rules often do not fit well to TOD
• Every project is different
• Every project is difficult
TOD requires extraordinary effort, flexibility, and actions

State Center Phase One
• State is leasing the property to
developer
• State is leasing back office
space

flow as part of ground rent
• Developer seeking TIF and
PILOT from the City
• Groundbreaking within the next
three to four months

What’s Next?
“Transit Communities”
• The ½ mile radius around existing stations can
theoretical accommodate all growth in Maryland
for 20 years
• Potential program to build dense transit
communities around stations
• Requires partnership of state agencies, local
government, and federal government
• We must plan ahead for the new transit lines

Transit-oriented Development in Arlington
23
EPA 2002 --
First National Award
for Smart Growth
Context
Arlington, Virginia – 25.8 sq. miles in area including federal lands
At the confluence of major regional transportation facilities
Home to major federal facilities: Pentagon, Fort Meyer, Arlington Hall
Located in the core of a rapidly growing Washington region (over 5 million residents, 3 million jobs and 1,200 sq. miles of urbanized area)
Continuing to grow – with over 247,000 residents and 280,000 jobs projected by 2040

Households Residents Jobs
Development Concepts
Concentrate high and mid-density redevelopment around transit stations (highly targeted) and taper down to existing neighborhoods
Encourage a mix of uses and services in station areas
Create high quality pedestrian environments and enhanced open space
Preserve and reinvest in established residential neighborhoods
25
Creating Environments Rich In Travel Choices
Site Plan Development
County Infrastructure Investments
Expanded Transit Service
Support for Emerging Travel Options 26
Sector Plans
The sector plans identify:
• Desired public improvements
• Location for retail
• Urban design standards
• Public infrastructure needs
• Open space, streetscape standards
They are intended to tell landowners, developers and residents what the future of the station area will be and how individual parcels can be redeveloped
27
Sector Plans
In response to development proposals, county will
rezone for higher density use shown on GLUP
Lower (pre-existing) zoning remains in place until
proposal receives County Board approval of a
special exception site plan
The sector plan allows significantly higher density &
height than underlying zoning (1.5 - 3.8, 55 ft - 153
ft)
28
Requiring Development-Specific Transportation Demand Management Participation in County-wide
Commuter Services programs
Transit subsidies
On-site improvements including sidewalk/streetscape and bicycle facilities
On-site travel information
Parking management
Transportation performance surveys
29
EPA – Potomac Yard (completed 2006)
ATP participant
Employee transit subsidies
Dedicated transitway and station
Sidewalk and bicycle improvements
Market-rate parking charges
On-site transportation coordinator
Transportation Strategies to Influence Travel Patterns
Concentrate mixed use development around transit stations
Create environments rich in travel choices
Time transportation improvements including expansion of transit service to development
Provide comprehensive travel information and encouragement
Expand development-specific TDM requirements
Increase focus on parking management (supply and pricing) 30
Benefits of Transit-oriented Development
Getting to work – transit use
– National avg: 4.7 %
– Fairfax County: 7.3 %
– Arlington: 23.3%
And, those who walk to work are double the
national avg, 5 times Fairfax
31
Benefits of Transit-oriented Development
Numbers are more dramatic in
Arlington’s Metro corridors
– Car ownership: 17.9% have zero cars,
while less than 25% have 2 or more
– Getting to work: Less than half drive
39.3% use transit
10.5% walk or bike
2.3 work at home

Aerial View of Arlington and Washington, D.C.
"Today, Arlington is a shining example of what citizen engagement, visionary planning, and wise use of scarce
resources can do for the livability of a community.“ – SmartGrowthAmerica.org
• 11 Metro transit stops along
two Metro corridors
• More downtown office space
than Boston, Los Angeles
and Denver
• Mixed-uses of office, retail,
hotel and residential within ¼
mile of Metro
• Development density
concentrated within 10% of
Arlington’s land area
