Helping people find a home in a walkable neighborhood near transit is the “greenest” feature you can offer on a real estate site.
It also makes great investment sense. Check out this Denver post article that shows homes within 1/2 mile of light rail appreciated 17% while the rest of the Denver housing market fell 7%:

There's also a study showing that 1 point of Walk Score is worth as much as $3,000 depending on the metro area:

Hi,
Public transit provides benefits both to those who use it and those who don’t.Again Public transit saves riders and taxpayers millions annually, which is reinvested in the region’s economy.
