Transit investments can stimulate new forms of investment and development that might otherwise not occur.  If carefully planned, transit oriented development, or “TOD” can offer walkable, mixed-use development options that complement a transit line and revitalize communities. 

What is TOD?  Transit Oriented Development is considered to be more compact development within easy walking distance of transit stations (about ½ mile) that contain a mix of uses such as housing, jobs, shops, restaurants and entertainment.  TOD creates walkable, sustainable communities that provide more housing and transportation choices for people of all ages. 

The Partnership is investigating best practices that integrate investments in transit and TOD.  Find out more about Transit and Development from other cities in the U.S.
