What is Transit-Oriented Development?

Imagine living where you can grab coffee, run errands, go to your job — all without getting in your car. That’s Transit-Oriented Development, or TOD.

By building around transit and prioritizing people and places, TOD can enhance communities as appealing places to live, work, and visit.
