Smart growth and transit - oriented development at the state level: Lessons from California, New Jersey, and Western Australia

The states of California and New Jersey in the United States and Western Australia in Australia encourage smart growth through the employment of transit-oriented development (TOD). This paper documents each state’s approach and highlights importance of interagency cooperation at the state-level and intergovernmental cooperation between state and local governments. The paper discusses the importance of state government participation in the planning and creation of policy to facilitate TOD and recommends elements for a model state TOD program.
