Understanding the Relation Between BRT and Land Use: Does BRT influence commercial and residential land use?

Abstract Details

2024, Master of City and Regional Planning, Ohio State University, City and Regional Planning.
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to Light Rail Systems (LRT), yet its impact on urban land use remains understudied compared to rail-based transit systems. This study examines land use changes within a 0.5-mile buffer along the Red Line BRT corridor that passes through Apple Valley, Bloomington, Burnsville, and Eagan, Minnesota. Using before-after analysis ranging from 2010 to 2020, this study assesses and statistically describes the conversion of areas covered by other land uses to commercially and residentially oriented land uses post-BRT implementation in 2013. Results indicate a higher ratio of conversion within the buffer zone, suggesting some influence of the BRT corridor on land use dynamics, particularly in transitioning undeveloped land to single-family detached and retail/commercial uses.
