Examples

1. Urban Centers

High density, mixed use places with high jobs-housing ratios overall, well-connected street networks, high levels of transit service and pedestrian supportive environments. Transit-oriented development (TOD) fits into all of the urban place types.

1a. Urban Cores

Central cities and downtowns of major cities, with full range of horizontally- and vertically-mixed land uses and with high capacity transit stations/corridors present or planned. Hubs of transit systems with excellent transit coverage, service levels, and intermodal passenger transfer opportunities.

Highest Highest

Downtowns of Long Beach, San Francisco, San J ose, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego, Oakland

1b. Urban Centers

Major activity centers within urban areas, with full range of horizontally- and vertically-mixed land uses and with high capacity transit stations/corridors present or planned.

High High

Place Type Transitions

Place types are tools for strategic decision-making about projects and programs that will support smart mobility as cities and towns change over time

15

®

®

Place Type Transitions

Anchored Places. Ranking on the Smart Mobility factors may change somewhat but place type designation will not change.

Transitional Places. Targeted for significant change that will result in a change in place type designation.

Place Type Transitions: Implications for Investments

Anchored Places. Investment decisions emphasize enhancing Smart Mobility factors.

Transitional Places. Investment emphasis is on supporting evolution to different place type with greater potential for Smart Mobility benefits.
