96 While every transit corridor is unique, characteristically similar corridors often face similar challenges. The Livable Transit Corridor Typology can help to match planning strategies to characteristically similar corridors.

Livable Transit Corridor Typology 97 Emerging Corridors have few destinations accessible by transit or on foot; Transitioning Corridors offer a significant but incomplete set of destinations; Integrated Corridors offer access to a complete range of opportunities. Figure D-1.

98 Livable Transit Corridors: Methods, Metrics, and Strategies Emerging Corridors As greenfield low-intensity (suburban, low-density, low-diversity) development occurs, the transit services provided are typically infrequent, local bus routes.

Livable Transit Corridor Typology 99 Commercial/Industrial Commercial/Industrial Emerging Corridors are dominated by employment uses that are generally low-rise and low-intensity, and may have little housing, retail, or cultural activities. Transit service is generally limited to commute hours, with little or no service at other times.

100 Livable Transit Corridors: Methods, Metrics, and Strategies stops in Local Bus Corridors, and "strip commercial" uses may be located between the arterial bus route and residential areas. Local Bus Corridors generally follow arterial and collector roadways, with auto-oriented land uses and street network patterns.

Livable Transit Corridor Typology 101 Livability enhancement needs typically found in Transitioning Corridors include: • Separated land uses; • Economically challenged neighborhoods; and • Transit services focused on high-speed access to activity centers (particularly CBDs) , often with few intra-corridor transit options.

104 Livable Transit Corridors: Methods, Metrics, and Strategies Transit-Oriented Nodes Corridor Transit-Oriented Nodes Corridors possess all the characteristics of Integrated Corridors within the walkable vicinity of a transit station or stop. Outside the station areas, however, development patterns are low-density and tend to be auto-oriented.
