Advocates of DART's aggressive rail expansion, which it calls the most ambitious in North America, argue the theory that development will cluster along rail lines because people want to live nearby, park their cars and commute by train. A core objective is to improve the air. Plus, supporters say, rail boosts property values and thereby helps economic vitality.
My observation, from my daily commutes on the Red Line, is that TOD has been slow to develop near DART stations. And I doubt anyone has data indicating whether nearby residents are indeed DART users.
