Discovery Partners Institute Transportation Needs Assessment

DPI is in the process of building a new research and classroom facility that will serve as the flagship development for The 78, a 62-acre development site on a former railyard near downtown Chicago. As The 78 is being constructed on vacant land, transportation infrastructure is being constructed with it, meaning that early occupants will not have access to robust public transit. 

TYLin developed a research-based model to understand what the parking and mobility demands of the site would be, how they might change over time, and how transportation needs could be fulfilled or supplemented by DPI or by The 78 developers. TYLin has continued to support DPI as they finalize their plans and interface with the city.
