Boston Transit-Oriented Development Policy

Boston's Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Policy promotes building homes, businesses, and amenities near public transportation hubs. The goal is to encourage people to use transit rather than drive, reducing traffic and pollution. By creating walkable neighborhoods with easy access to trains, buses, and subways, the policy supports sustainable urban growth and enhances community connectivity. It aims to improve the quality of life by fostering diverse, vibrant areas where residents can live, work, and play without relying heavily on cars. Overall, it seeks to create a more efficient and environmentally friendly urban environment.
