Multiple strategies must be used for a transit-oriented development project to come to fruition. These strategies are based on the premise that to achieve transit-oriented development, developers must do more than just passively allow transit-oriented development at station areas. They must assess the market demand for transit-oriented development, encourage the development community to participate in transit-oriented development, promote private development through public investment, and actively pursue partnerships with the development community.

Implementation strategies are grouped within five major areas:

• Market Analysis
  Assessing the market for Transit-Oriented Development by evaluating the market demand for residential and commercial development at transit stations.
• Regulations
  Creating a permit and regulatory environment that encourages rather than discourages transit-oriented development.
• Financial Incentives Update
  Potential financial incentives that could be implemented by the Washington State Legislature to help fund Transit-Oriented Development projects.

• Funding Sources
  Pursuing various funding sources that will support development activity and leverage private investment.
• Public Actions
  Promoting development opportunities through public actions by working proactively with the development community.
