Transit Is Changing Look of the American Dream

Jennifer Dorn, administrator of the Federal Transit Administration, discusses in the Star Tribune the shift in consumer preferences away from isolated suburban development toward accessible housing located near transit. Dorn’s arguments are based on Hidden in Plain Sight, a market study of the transit-oriented development market. The Center for Transit-Oriented Development, a project between CNT and Reconnecting America, produced the study.
