Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has been increasingly regarded as a cost-effective mode of transportation. In order for BRT ridership to be sustainable, the planning of BRT stations must be coordinated with transit oriented development (TOD). Yet, no tool exists for planners to systematically model the BRT system with TOD. This paper proposes three stages of TOD (incubation, rapid growth, and maturity) that mirror the three BRT deployment phases (limited, moderate, and aggressive). The system dynamic (SD) approach has been suggested to model the progress of TOD and BRT deployment over time. The SD model consists of three modules: population, BRT, and TOD. The population and BRT modules have been developed and are described in this paper.
