Denver Transit-Oriented Development

Denver Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is a planning approach that creates mixed-use neighborhoods centered around public transit hubs like light rail stations. Its goal is to encourage density and diverse amenities nearby, making it easier for residents to access work, shopping, and services without relying heavily on cars. By integrating residential, commercial, and recreational spaces close to transit, TOD aims to reduce traffic congestion, lower environmental impact, and foster vibrant, walkable communities. In Denver, this strategy supports sustainable growth by promoting efficient land use and enhancing connectivity across the city.
