The document discusses the history and benefits of transit-oriented developments (TODs) using examples from Connecticut and other places. It notes that in 1950, 70% of Connecticut's population lived in areas that would now be considered TODs, but many are no longer optimized for transit. Well-designed TODs like examples in Urdorf, Switzerland and Dupont Circle, Washington D.C. offer residents transportation options beyond private vehicles, have a mix of housing and jobs near transit stations, and are designed at a human scale. The document argues that reforms around zoning, parking, and streets could help make TODs more successful in Connecticut.

My Three Favorite TODs Lessons for Connecticut Norman W. Garrick University of Connecticut
TODs in Connecticut Past and Present In 1950 Almost 70 % of Connecticut lived in the green areas By 2000 Only 50 % of Connecticut lived in these same areas In other words, in 1950 most of Connecticuts population lived in what we now call TOD The bad news: these areas are mostly no longer TODs The good news: they can again become TODs

Driving to Exhaustion 1946 The average American drove 6 miles every day 2004 The average American drove 30 miles per day
Cities will be part of the country; I shall live 30 miles from my office in one direction, under a pine tree; my secretary will live 30 miles away from it too, in the other direction, under another pine tree. We shall both have our own car. We shall use up tires, wear out road surfaces and gears, consume oil and gasoline. All of which will necessitate a great deal of work enough for all. - Le Corbusier, 1935

Era of Transportation Choices? The Automobile Era
TALK about making an entrance. Intent on arriving at a recent gala in style, Topaz Page-Green swooshed onto the scene on her trusty vintage roadster. She wore, of all things, a scarlet dress with a slinky 1920s feel. It was to the ankles, she recalled. I had to hoist it up. Fashion & Style By RUTH LA FERLA Published: September 29, 2010
