Jobs-Housing Balance

Jobs-Housing Match
Jobs-Housing match describes the compatibility of income levels of workers in a city with the affordability of housing in a city.
Joint development
Ventures undertaken by the public and private sectors for development of land around transit stations or stops. Also a shared effort by two or more parties to develop a parcel of land. In terms of transit, this quite often involves a private developer and a transit agency. The development may include parking, commercial uses, retail and/or residential uses. In return for provision of the property, the transit agency may receive a new or improved station facility, additional joint-use parking, increased ridership generated by the development, infrastructure improvements and/or income.
