We can't even manage to do the apartment buildings, let alone the solar panels.
Build the mass transit first, then the apartments make sense.
It doesn't work that way. Unfortunately, the demand has to exist first in order to get the transit approved; otherwise the car-brains call it "useless" and win. You have to force through the density and make it painful to drive before there's a critical mass of support for it.
Or... hear me out... and this can only occur in a society capable of critical thinking, so it would never happen in america, but...
How about a phased-implementation in which transit and apartments are built concurrently, according to a plan aiming towards the final result.
If you build the transit first, it needs a giant parking lot. If you build the apartments first, they need giant parking lots. If you build them simultaneously and plan them to finish around the same time, you don't need parking lots.
