Though not fully completed TODs, small pockets of development around transit have emerged with more to follow.

"In Haddonfield, townhouses were built across from the station, and condos were built above stores about a block away. And in Woodcrest, a former steel plant near the rail stop was converted into offices for hundreds of workers."

"The same has been true in Pennsylvania, where businesses and housing have been proposed or built around some SEPTA stations in Conshohocken, Ardmore, and Pennbrook in Lansdale."

"While fully completed 'transit villages' may be years away, local municipalities and government-financed studies have already spurred development near the rail stops."
