The purpose of this paper is to share San Diego's experience with joint development related to "smaller scale" light rail transit (LRT). It is a narrative account of the Metropolitan Transit Development Board's (MTDB's) relatively modest but promising experiences to date. This is not a report of the results of a rigorous or structured research analysis effort; it is instead a summary of practical experience and of some intuitive insights based on that experience. A word about smaller scale joint development and why it is an appropriate topic for the MTDB is in order. Joint development has been and will continue to be a key goal and tool for implementing San Diego's LRT system. Smaller scale is not descriptive of the potential or aspirations for LRT joint development in San Diego; it is, however, reflective of experience to date. In San Diego it has been found that a constellation of smaller scale joint development efforts is cumulatively adding up to more than the sum of their parts. The result is the building of a foundation of joint development experience that can be expanded as the relatively new (less than 4 years old) LRT system expands and matures. (Author)
