Acknowledgments
These Guidelines were produced in collaboration with municipalities, transit agencies, provincial ministries and agencies, professional urban planners, developers and the building and land development industries. While many contributors are transit and land use planning practitioners, others work in related fields on which the transit–land use connection has an impact, including health promotion, economic development, tourism, environmental protection, housing, cultural preservation and accessibility for persons with disabilities.
The publication of the 2012 Transit-Supportive Guidelines would not have been possible without the participation and support of far more individuals than it is possible to list here, including Ministry of Transportation staff, the Urban Strategies and GHD consultant team, and the staff from provincial ministries and agencies, municipalities, transit agencies and planning and development associations who lent their time and expertise to this project. We would like to acknowledge the individuals listed below for their significant contributions to the 2012 Transit-Supportive Guidelines.
